Product Details

This Cardone CV axle assembly is part of the brand’s CV Drive Axle line, which focuses on correcting common failure points found in original axles. The design emphasizes boot durability, seal integrity, and shaft straightness to help maintain quiet operation and consistent performance. Cardone 66-3167 is a direct-fit driveline replacement for Mitsubishi Eclipse and Mitsubishi Galant front left service, and it includes the ABS ring needed for vehicles that rely on axle-mounted speed sensing.

This part cross-references Mitsubishi MB896795 and MB896797 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noises during hard turns
• Grease leakage around the axle boot or suspension area
• Front-end vibration during acceleration
• ABS warning light caused by a damaged or incorrect sensor ring setup
• Grinding or binding from a worn outer or inner CV joint

Installation Notes

• Fits 1996-1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse, front left, and 1994-1998 Mitsubishi Galant, front left.
• Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service; this can damage the inner joint.
• Use a torque wrench for the retaining nut and tighten to manufacturer specifications.
• Do not reuse the old prevailing-torque lock nut; install the supplied new nut.
• Replace transaxle seals when servicing the axle 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 engineers and tests CV drive axles to meet or exceed original equipment performance targets. Each shaft is checked for straightness to help deliver vibration-free operation at speed, and the boot and seal design is built to address common causes of repeat failure.
