Key Features

• New axle retaining nut included for a cleaner installation when the original nut is worn or stripped
• Neoprene boots use added bellows where needed to reduce stress and ozone cracking
• Boot clamps are pneumatically crimped for a tight seal at the boot and housing
• High-temperature, high-torque grease supports long-term joint lubrication
• Shafts are individually checked for straightness to help reduce vibration at speed
• Transmission seal diameter is precision-machined after heat treatment for proper seal contact
• Splined input and output connections with 23 input splines and 26 output splines

Product Details

Cardone’s CV axle assembly line is built around testing and engineering practices developed from real-world failure analysis. For this application, the axle is designed to deliver OE-style performance while addressing common weak points found in original CV components. The result is a replacement axle for Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth front right service that focuses on seal integrity, joint protection, and smooth operation. This part cross-references Chrysler 4367018 and Dodge 4504553 for the same application. Part number 66-3010 is also referenced in service and catalog listings for these vehicles.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noises during hard turns
• Grease on the chassis or suspension from a ruptured outer boot
• Front-end vibration or thumping during acceleration
• Grinding noise from the front end caused by CV joint wear
• ABS warning light concerns after axle replacement when sensor components are damaged

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 1984-1989 Dodge Aries, front right; 1984-1989 Plymouth Reliant, front right; and select Chrysler front right applications listed in the fitment data.
• 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 the manufacturer specification.
• Do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut; install the supplied new nut.
• Replace transaxle seals when servicing CV drive axles to help prevent leaks.
• Inspect nearby ABS sensor wiring and related components before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

Cardone applies CV axle testing and engineering methods focused on straightness verification, seal durability, and joint reliability. The brand’s remanufacturing and replacement process is built to reduce repeat failure by addressing common boot, seal, and vibration issues found in original equipment designs. Part number 66-3010 reflects that approach for front right driveline service on select Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicles.
