Cardone 66-3338 CV Axle Assembly - Front Left

CV Axle Assembly for Front Left Applications

Cardone 66-3338 is a new CV axle assembly engineered for front left driveline service on select Chrysler, Dodge, and Mitsubishi vehicles. It is built with attention to shaft straightness, boot durability, and seal integrity to support smooth power transfer and reduced vibration.

This CV axle assembly is a direct replacement for front left service on 2001-2005 Chrysler Sebring, 2001-2005 Dodge Stratus, 1999-2003 Mitsubishi Galant, and 2000-2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Key Features

• Front left application with splined input and output connections
• ABS ring included with 43 teeth
• Castle-style axle nut locking type
• Compressed length: 25 in.
• New spindle nut included
• Neoprene boots with added bellows where needed to reduce stress and cracking
• Pneumatically crimped boot clamps for a secure seal
• High-temperature, high-torque grease for demanding driveline conditions
• Transmission seal diameter precision-machined after heat treatment for seal life

Detailed Description

Cardone applies its CV driveline engineering experience to this axle assembly to address common failure points found in original equipment units. The shaft is individually checked for straightness to help reduce vibration, while the boot design and clamp retention are focused on keeping grease in and contaminants out. For drivers servicing a Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Stratus, Mitsubishi Galant, or Mitsubishi Eclipse, part number 66-3338 provides a practical replacement for front left CV axle service.

This part cross-references Chrysler and Dodge OE numbers MR357813 and MR357815 for the same application.

What This CV Axle Helps Address

• Clicking or snapping during turns from worn outer CV joint components
• Grease leakage from a ruptured outer boot
• Front-end vibration caused by axle runout or shaft imbalance
• ABS warning light issues related to damaged sensor rings or wiring during axle replacement
• Thumping or driveline shudder from a worn or binding axle assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 2001-2005 Chrysler Sebring, front left.
• Fits 2001-2005 Dodge Stratus, front left.
• Fits 1999-2003 Mitsubishi Galant, front left.
• Fits 2000-2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse, front left.
• Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service; support it to avoid joint separation or damage.
• Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and tighten to manufacturer specifications.
• Do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut; install the new spindle nut supplied with the axle.
• Replace transaxle seals when servicing CV drive axles 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 designs its CV drive axles around known failure causes in original units, including boot cracking and shaft runout. Each shaft is verified for straightness to support vibration-free operation across the speed range, and the assembly uses materials and sealing details selected for long-term driveline performance.
