Product Details

Cardone’s CV Axle Assembly line is engineered from extensive CV driveline testing and remanufacturing experience, with attention to the failure points that commonly affect original axles. For Ford Edge, Lincoln MKX, and Mazda CX-7 or CX-9 front right service, part number 66-2189 is designed to restore smooth power transfer while addressing common boot and vibration concerns. This part cross-references Ford/Lincoln 7T4Z3A428D for the same application.

Common Problems This Axle Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noises during hard turns and acceleration
• Grease leakage from a torn or cracked outer boot
• Front-end vibration caused by axle runout or shaft imbalance
