Product Details

This Cardone CV axle assembly is built from the company’s driveline engineering experience and focuses on the failure points that commonly affect original axles. The shaft is individually checked for straightness to help reduce vibration, while the boot and grease package are selected to handle heat, torque, and road contamination. For rear right service on the Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook, part number 66-1509 provides a direct-fit replacement solution.

This part cross-references OE numbers 15116778 and 25822835 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noises during turns
• Grease leakage around the CV boot or chassis
• Vibration during acceleration
• Grinding or rumbling from a worn axle joint
• ABS warning light caused by damaged axle-area sensor components during service

Installation Notes

Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service, since that can damage the inner joint. Always install a new transaxle seal when replacing CV drive axle assemblies, and use a torque wrench to tighten the retaining nut to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification. Do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut. If the hub-side stub shaft is seized, use an appropriate removal method to avoid damaging the hub or axle threads.

Quality Assurance

Cardone verifies CV axle shafts for straightness and runout to help deliver vibration-free operation at speed. The design also addresses common boot-failure causes with improved bellows geometry where needed, precision-machined seal surfaces, and secure boot clamping for consistent sealing performance.
