Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noises during turns from a worn outer CV joint
• Grease leakage around the axle boot from a ruptured boot
• Front-end vibration caused by axle runout or shaft distortion
• Thumping or shuddering during acceleration from driveline wear
• ABS warning concerns after axle replacement when sensor components are disturbed

Installation Notes

Do not let the CV axle hang unsupported during service, as this can damage the inner joint. Use a torque wrench to install the retaining nut to the manufacturer’s specification, and do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut. When replacing CV drive axle assemblies, install new transaxle seals to help prevent leaks. If the ABS sensor ring, sensor, or wiring is present near the axle, inspect it carefully during installation to avoid an erratic speed signal.

Quality Assurance

Cardone designs its CV drive axles to meet or exceed original equipment performance targets through application-specific engineering, straightness verification, and improved boot and seal construction. Part number 66-1569 is a new CV axle assembly supplied with the components listed in the package contents.
