Detailed Description

The Cardone CV Axle Assembly 66-3358 is a front right driveline replacement for Hyundai Santa Fe models from 2001 through 2005. It is engineered to address common CV axle failure points such as boot cracking, grease loss, contamination, and vibration. The included ABS ring supports vehicles that rely on wheel speed signal input at the axle, while the precision-verified shaft helps maintain smooth operation at speed.

Cardone’s CV axle design uses durable boot materials, sealed clamp retention, and heat-resistant grease to support long service life under torque and temperature load. This makes 66-3358 a practical choice when replacing a worn or noisy front right CV axle on a Hyundai Santa Fe.

This part cross-references Hyundai 4950026670 and 4950026671 for the same application.

What It Can Help Fix

• Clicking or snapping noises during turns
• Grease on the chassis or suspension from a torn CV boot
• Front-end vibration during acceleration
• ABS warning light caused by axle sensor ring or wiring damage
• Grinding or binding from a worn outer or inner CV joint

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 2001-2004 Hyundai Santa Fe, front right, and 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe, 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.
• Do not reuse the old prevailing-torque lock nut; install the supplied new nut.
• 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 engineers and tests CV drive axles to address common OE failure causes and verify shaft straightness for vibration-free performance. The assembly is new and supplied with an instruction sheet for installation reference.
