Product Details

Cardone 66-2066 is part of the Cardone CV Axle Assembly line, built around remanufacturing and engineering practices focused on common CV failure points. The axle shaft is individually checked for straightness to help reduce vibration, while the transmission seal diameter is precision-machined after heat treatment to support proper sealing and long service life. This part cross-references Mercury 1F5Z3B437AA for the same application.

For Nissan Quest and Mercury Villager front left service, this CV axle assembly is a direct driveline replacement for worn or damaged original equipment units. The included ABS ring supports vehicles equipped with wheel speed sensing, and the standard axle nut locking type is designed for conventional service procedures.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noises during turns from a worn outer CV joint
• Grease leakage around the axle boot area
• Vibration caused by a bent or out-of-run shaft
• ABS warning light concerns after axle replacement when the sensor ring is damaged or incorrect
• Binding or clunking from a failing inner or outer CV joint

Installation Notes

• Do not let the CV axle hang unsupported during service.
• Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and follow manufacturer torque specifications.
• Do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut; install a new nut.
• Replace transaxle seals when servicing CV drive axle assemblies to help prevent leaks.
• Inspect the ABS sensor, wiring, and ring during installation to avoid speed signal issues.

Quality Assurance

Cardone applies testing and engineering methods developed from CV axle remanufacturing experience, including 100% run-out inspection on shafts used in assembly. The goal is consistent fit, reduced vibration, and dependable driveline performance for 1993-2002 Nissan Quest and Mercury Villager front left applications. Part number 66-2066 is supplied as a new product with instruction sheet included.
