Product Details

This CV axle assembly is designed to replace the rear right axle on the Cadillac CTS while maintaining OE-style driveline performance. Cardone uses precision inspection and engineering methods to help ensure the shaft runs true and the joints operate smoothly under load. The assembly includes a self-lock axle nut and is built with a compressed length of 32.87 inches. This part cross-references Cadillac 26091088 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noises during acceleration or tight turns
• Grease on the chassis or suspension from a torn CV boot
• Vibration caused by axle runout or shaft imbalance
• Grinding or binding from a worn outer or inner CV joint
• Driveline noise after axle seal or joint wear

Installation Notes

Do not let the CV axle hang unsupported during service, as this can damage the inner joint. Always install a new transaxle seal when replacing the axle, and use a torque wrench to tighten the retaining nut to the manufacturer’s specification. Do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut, and avoid using an impact wrench or impact hammer on the retaining nut. If the ABS warning light appears after installation, inspect the sensor ring, sensor, and wiring for damage.

Quality Assurance

Cardone engineers its CV drive axles to address common failure causes such as boot cracking, seal wear, and shaft runout. Each shaft is checked for straightness to support vibration-free operation at speed, and the boot and grease materials are selected for durability under driveline heat and torque.
