Product Details

Cardone 66-3407 is part of the CV Axle Assembly line, focused on OE-style driveline performance for everyday service replacement. Cardone engineers CV drive axles to address common failure points such as boot cracking, seal wear, and vibration from shaft runout. Each shaft is individually verified for straightness to help deliver smooth operation at speed. This part cross-references Hyundai 4950838J00 and Kia 495003C692 for the same application.

Fits 1999-2005 Hyundai Sonata, front right. Fits 2001-2006 Kia Magentis, front right. Fits 2001-2006 Kia Optima, front right. Cardone 66-3407 is a direct-fit option for drivers searching for a front right CV axle assembly for Hyundai Sonata or Kia Optima replacement service.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noise during turns from a worn outer CV joint
• Grease on the chassis or suspension from a ruptured CV boot
• Vibration or thump under acceleration caused by axle runout or joint wear
• ABS warning light after axle replacement when the sensor ring signal is affected
• Binding or driveline movement related to a damaged or worn axle assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

• Do not let the CV axle hang unsupported during service; this can damage the inner joint.
• Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and tighten to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification.
• Do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut; install a new nut during assembly.
• Replace transaxle seals when servicing CV drive axle assemblies 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 uses engineering and testing methods developed from CV axle failure analysis to improve durability and fit. The axle shaft is checked for straightness to reduce vibration, and the boot and seal design are built to support long-term service in demanding driveline conditions.
