Product Details

Cardone engineers its CV Drive Axle assemblies around common failure points found in original units. The boot design uses neoprene with added bellows where needed to reduce stress and ozone cracking, while the shaft is individually checked for straightness to help maintain smooth, vibration-free operation. High-temperature grease is used to support the demands of torque and heat in daily driving, and the transmission seal diameter is precision-machined after heat treatment for proper sealing performance. This part number, 66-2236, is a direct replacement for rear right service on the Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX platform.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noises during turns
• Grease on the chassis or suspension from a torn boot
• Vibration under acceleration
• ABS warning light after axle replacement
• Grinding or binding from a worn CV joint

Installation Notes and Tips

Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service, as this can damage the inner joint. Use a torque wrench to install the retaining nut to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification, and do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut. When replacing CV drive axle assemblies, install new transaxle seals 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 verifies CV axle assemblies with run-out inspection to help reduce vibration and support consistent performance. The shaft is checked for straightness, and the assembly is engineered to address known causes of repeat CV axle failure in Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX rear right applications. This part cross-references Ford 7T4Z4K138A and Lincoln 7T4Z4K138A for the same application.
