Product Details

Cardone CV Drive Axle assemblies are built from testing and engineering experience focused on OE-level performance. For this application, the axle is designed to address common causes of repeat failure, including boot cracking, seal wear, and vibration from shaft runout. The 66-3038 is a new axle assembly with ABS ring integration and splined connections for the specified Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, Dodge Grand Caravan, Plymouth Voyager, and Plymouth Grand Voyager front axle positions.

This part cross-references Chrysler 4384737 and Dodge 4511109 for the same application.

What It Can Help Fix

• Clicking or snapping during turns from a worn outer CV joint
• Grease on the chassis or suspension from a ruptured CV boot
• Front-end vibration caused by axle runout or shaft imbalance
• ABS warning light issues after axle replacement when the sensor ring is damaged or incorrect
• Thumping or driveline shudder during acceleration from a failing axle assembly

Do not let the CV axle hang unsupported during service, as this can damage the inner joint. Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and follow manufacturer specifications; do not use an impact wrench for nut installation. Replace the prevailing-torque lock nut rather than reusing the old one. When replacing CV drive axle assemblies, install new transaxle seals to help prevent leaks. Some listed applications note motor mount wear compensation and a longer-than-original axle length, so refer to the installation tip included in the CV box before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

Cardone verifies CV axle shafts for straightness and runout control to support vibration-free operation at speed. The axle is engineered with improved boot construction, secure crimped clamps, and durable grease selection to help maintain consistent driveline performance in daily use.
