Product Details

Cardone’s CV Axle Assembly line is built around testing and engineering practices developed from CV drive axle remanufacturing experience. For this application, the axle shaft is individually verified for straightness to help reduce vibration at speed, while the boot design and sealing details address common failure points such as cracking, grease loss, and contamination. Cardone 66-3409 is a practical replacement choice for Hyundai Elantra and Hyundai Tiburon front left driveline service when the original axle shows wear, noise, or boot damage.

This part cross-references Hyundai 4950729M20 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping during turns from a worn outer CV joint
• Grease on the chassis or suspension from a ruptured CV boot
• Vibration during acceleration caused by axle runout or shaft wear
• Grinding or thumping noises from driveline joint damage
• ABS warning light issues after axle replacement when the sensor ring or wiring is affected

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 service.
• Replace transaxle seals when installing CV 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 designs this CV axle assembly to meet or exceed original equipment performance targets through application-specific engineering, straightness verification, and improved boot and seal construction. The result is a replacement axle built for consistent operation in Hyundai front left driveline applications.
