Detailed Description

This CV axle assembly is built for the front right position on the 1995, 1996, 1997, and 1998 Ford Windstar. It uses a splined connection design with a 35-spline input and 26-spline output, along with an integrated ABS ring to support proper wheel speed signal operation. The axle nut locking type is self-lock, and the spindle nut thread size is M20 x 1.5.

Cardone’s CV Drive Axle line is engineered to address the causes of repeat failure. That includes boot construction that resists cracking, precision-machined seal surfaces for longer seal life, and runout verification to help maintain smooth operation. This part cross-references Ford F58Z3B436A and F68Z3B436BA for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noise during turns
• Grease on the chassis or suspension from a torn outer boot
• Front-end vibration under acceleration
• ABS warning light caused by a damaged sensor ring or axle-mounted sensor area
• Grinding or wobble related to a worn outer CV joint

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 1995-1998 Ford Windstar, front right.
• Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service; this can damage the inner joint.
• Use a torque wrench for the retaining nut and tighten to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification.
• Do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut; install the supplied new axle 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 designs and tests CV drive axles with OE-level performance targets in mind, using straightness verification and boot construction improvements to help reduce common failure modes. Part number 66-2069 is a new CV axle assembly for dependable driveline service on the Ford Windstar.
