Product Details

This Cardone CV axle assembly is built for Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan, and Chrysler Voyager front right driveline service. The design addresses common CV axle failure points by using a boot construction that helps resist ozone cracking and bellows stress, while the shaft is checked for straightness to support vibration-free operation at speed. The ABS ring is included for vehicles that use wheel speed sensing at the axle.

This part cross-references Chrysler 4641894AA and Dodge 4660288AB for the same application. Part number 66-3251 is a direct replacement choice when servicing a worn or noisy front right axle on these minivan platforms.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping during turns from a worn outer CV joint
• Grease on the suspension or chassis from a torn axle boot
• Vibration during acceleration caused by axle runout or shaft wear
• ABS warning light after axle replacement when the sensor ring is damaged or incorrect
• Grinding or clunking from the front end related to CV joint wear

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, and 1997 Chrysler Town & Country, front right; 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, and 1997 Dodge Grand Caravan, front right; and 2001 Chrysler Voyager, front right.
• Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service; this can damage the inner joint.
• Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and follow manufacturer torque specifications.
• Replace the axle nut rather than reusing a prevailing-torque lock nut.
• Install new transaxle seals when replacing CV axle assemblies to help prevent leaks.
