Product Details

This Cardone CV axle assembly is engineered for driveline service on the front left side of 1995-1999 Dodge Neon and Plymouth Neon applications. The Cardone CV Axle Assembly line focuses on correcting common original-axle failure causes, including boot cracking, grease loss, contamination, and vibration from shaft runout. Part number 66-3106 is built with an ABS ring, splined connections, and a precision-verified shaft to support smooth operation at speed.

This part cross-references Dodge 4668701 and Plymouth 4668701 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping during turns from a worn outer CV joint
• Grease leakage around the axle boot
• Front-end vibration caused by axle runout or shaft imbalance
• ABS warning light after axle replacement when the sensor ring is damaged or incorrect
• Thumping or binding from a failing inner or outer CV joint

Installation Notes

• Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service; support it to avoid joint damage.
• Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and follow manufacturer torque specifications.
• 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 ABS sensor components and wiring during installation to avoid speed-signal faults.

Quality Assurance

Cardone applies testing and engineering methods developed from CV axle failure analysis, including 100% shaft runout inspection and straightness verification. The result is a replacement axle designed to meet OE performance expectations for the 1995-1999 Dodge Neon and Plymouth Neon front left position.
