Product Details

Cardone 66-3144 is part of the CV Axle Assembly line, which focuses on replacement drive axles engineered for OE-style performance. Cardone uses testing and dimensional verification to address common CV axle failure points, including boot stress, seal wear, and shaft runout. Neoprene boots are shaped with added bellows where needed to reduce cracking and stress, while the axle shaft is individually checked for straightness to help maintain vibration-free operation at speed.

This part cross-references Mitsubishi MB937959 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noise during turns
• Grease leakage around the axle boot or chassis
• Front-end vibration during acceleration
• Grinding noise from the front axle area
• ABS warning light caused by a damaged sensor ring or related axle component

Installation Notes

Do not let the CV axle hang unsupported during service, since that can damage the inner joint. Always install a new transaxle seal when replacing a CV drive axle assembly, and replace the axle nut rather than reusing a prevailing-torque lock nut. Use a torque wrench to tighten the retaining nut to the manufacturer’s specification; do not use an impact wrench for final installation.

If the ABS light remains on after installation, inspect the sensor ring, sensor, and nearby wiring for damage. If the old axle was difficult to remove from the hub, verify the hub and stub shaft are clean and free of corrosion before reassembly.

Quality Assurance

Cardone builds this CV axle assembly using engineering and inspection practices aimed at consistent fit and vibration control. Shafts are verified for straightness, and the boot and seal interfaces are designed to support long-term service life in demanding driveline conditions.
