Product Details

Cardone’s CV axle assembly line is engineered around the common failure points found in original drive axles. For the Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Cruze Limited front right application, this assembly is designed to deliver stable operation, reliable joint movement, and consistent sealing at the boot and housing. The shaft is inspected for straightness to help maintain vibration-free performance, while the boot and grease package are selected to handle demanding driveline conditions. Part number 66-1543 is a direct replacement choice for drivers addressing worn or damaged front axle components.

This part cross-references Chevrolet (e.g., 13334705, 13335132) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping during hard turns
• Grease on the chassis or suspension from a torn CV boot
• Front-end vibration during acceleration
• Grinding or popping noises from the driveline
• ABS warning light after axle replacement when the sensor ring is damaged or misaligned

Installation Notes

Install new transaxle seals when replacing CV drive axle assemblies to help prevent leaks. Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service, since that can damage the inner joint. Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and tighten it to the manufacturer specification; do not use an impact wrench for nut installation. Replace the prevailing-torque lock nut rather than reusing the old one.

Quality Assurance

Cardone applies testing and engineering methods developed from CV axle remanufacturing experience to address repeat-failure causes such as boot cracking, seal wear, and shaft runout. Each shaft is verified for straightness to support smooth operation in Chevrolet Cruze and Cruze Limited front right applications. Part number 66-1543 is supplied as a new CV axle assembly.
