Product Details

The Cardone 66-2068 CV axle assembly is a direct driveline replacement for the front left position on the Ford Windstar. It uses splined input and output connections, with a 35-spline input shaft and 26-spline output shaft, and includes an ABS ring to maintain proper wheel speed signal operation. The axle is designed around OE-style performance targets, with attention to shaft runout, boot construction, and sealing surfaces to help maintain smooth, vibration-free operation.

This part cross-references Ford F58Z3B437A and F68Z3B437AA for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noises during turns
• Grease leakage around the axle boot
• Front-end vibration during acceleration
• ABS warning light after axle replacement
• Grinding or binding from a worn CV joint

Installation Notes

• Fits 1995-1998 Ford Windstar, front left.
• Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service; this can damage the inner joint.
• Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and tighten to manufacturer specifications.
• Do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut; install a new nut.
• Replace transaxle seals when servicing CV drive axles to help prevent leaks.
• If the ABS light remains on after installation, inspect the sensor ring, sensor, and nearby wiring for damage.

Quality Assurance

Cardone engineers and tests its CV drive axles to meet or exceed OE performance targets. Each shaft is checked for straightness and runout to help reduce vibration, and the boot and sealing design are developed to address common causes of premature axle failure.
