Product Details

This Cardone CV axle assembly is part of the Cardone CV Axle Assembly line, which focuses on replacement driveline components engineered around common failure points such as boot cracking, contamination, and vibration. The design emphasizes straight shaft verification, sealed boot construction, and correct ABS ring integration for dependable operation in rear right driveline service.

What This CV Axle Helps Address

• Clicking or snapping noises during turns
• Grease leakage around a torn or cracked CV boot
• Vibration caused by axle runout or shaft distortion
• ABS warning lights related to damaged sensor ring components
• Thumping or driveline shudder from a worn axle assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2006-2010 Ford Explorer, rear right; 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, rear right; 2006-2010 Mercury Mountaineer, rear right; 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, rear right with Advance Trac; 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, rear right with Advance Trac; 2003-2005 Mercury Mountaineer, rear right with Advance Trac; and 2002 Mercury Mountaineer, rear right. Replace the axle nut with the supplied new spindle nut and torque it to the manufacturer specification. Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service, and install new transaxle seals when replacing CV drive axle assemblies. If the ABS light remains on after installation, inspect the sensor ring, sensor, and nearby wiring for damage.

Quality Assurance

Cardone engineers and tests CV drive axles to meet or exceed original equipment performance targets. Each shaft is checked for straightness, and the boot and grease design are selected to address common causes of repeat failure in driveline service.
