Product Details

Cardone 66-2032 is engineered as a direct replacement CV axle assembly for the front right position on the Ford Tempo and Mercury Topaz. The design focuses on the parts that commonly fail in original axles, including boot durability, seal integrity, and shaft runout. Cardone also verifies axle straightness and runout to support vibration-free operation at speed. This part cross-references Ford F23Z3B436E for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping during turns from a worn outer CV joint
• Grease on the chassis or suspension from a ruptured CV boot
• Front-end vibration caused by axle runout or shaft distortion
• ABS warning light after axle replacement when the sensor ring is damaged or missing
• Grinding or binding from a failing CV joint or contaminated grease

Installation Notes

Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service, as this can damage the inner joint. Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and tighten it to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification; do not use an impact wrench for final installation. Replace the prevailing-torque lock nut rather than reusing the old one. When replacing CV drive axle assemblies, install new transaxle seals to help prevent leaks. If the hub stub shaft is seized, use an appropriate removal method to avoid damaging the hub or axle.

Quality Assurance

Cardone’s CV axle engineering process is based on testing and failure analysis of original equipment designs. The axle shaft is checked for straightness, and the boot and grease selection are intended to support reliable operation under heat and torque load. Package contents include the complete axle and instruction sheet.
