Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1994-1998 Hyundai Sonata, front left. Always replace the axle retaining nut with the supplied spindle nut and torque it to manufacturer specifications. Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service, and do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut. When replacing CV drive axle assemblies, install new transaxle seals 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 verifies CV axle shafts for straightness and runout control before use in remanufacturing, helping support smooth operation at all speeds. The brand’s engineering process is focused on reducing repeat failure by addressing boot stress, seal wear, and vibration sources common to CV axle service.
