Detailed Description

Cardone 66-3379 is a replacement CV axle assembly for the Mitsubishi Lancer front right position. It is built to restore smooth power transfer from the transaxle to the wheel while maintaining proper ABS signal function through the included 43-tooth ring. The axle shaft is individually checked for straightness to help reduce vibration at speed, and the transmission seal diameter is precision-machined after heat treatment to support proper sealing and long service life.

This part cross-references Mitsubishi MR580576 and MR953746 for the same application. The Cardone CV Axle Assembly line is engineered around common original-axle failure modes, including boot cracking, grease loss, contamination, and joint wear. Cardone 66-3379 is a direct-fit service part for 2002-2007 Mitsubishi Lancer front right axle replacement work.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noise during turns
• Grease leakage around a torn CV boot
• Front-end vibration during acceleration
• ABS warning light caused by axle sensor ring issues
• Grinding or binding from a worn outer or inner CV joint

Installation Notes and Tips

• Do not let the CV axle hang unsupported during service.
• Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and follow 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 to meet or exceed original equipment performance targets through application-specific engineering and inspection. Each shaft is verified for straightness to support vibration-free operation, and the boot and seal details are built to help reduce repeat failure in daily driving conditions.
