Product Details

Cardone designs its CV Drive Axle assemblies around the failure points commonly seen in original units. For this application, the axle shaft is individually checked for straightness to help reduce vibration, while the transmission seal diameter is precision-machined after heat treatment to support proper sealing and longer seal life. The result is a replacement axle built for consistent operation in the Hyundai Sonata front right position. If you are searching for a 2006 Hyundai Sonata front right CV axle assembly, a 2007 Hyundai Sonata CV axle replacement, or a 2008 Hyundai Sonata front right axle shaft, part number 66-3490 is the direct application to review.

This part cross-references Hyundai (e.g., 495000A160, 495003K160) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noises during hard turns and acceleration
• Grease leakage around the axle boot or underbody
• Vibration during acceleration caused by axle runout or shaft imbalance
• ABS warning light triggered by a damaged sensor ring or related axle hardware
• Grinding or clunking from a worn outer or inner CV joint

Installation Notes

Do not let the CV axle hang unsupported during service, since that can damage the inner joint or separate the shaft. Replace the transaxle seals when installing a new CV drive axle assembly, and always use a torque wrench on the retaining nut rather than an impact wrench. The old prevailing-torque nut should not be reused. If the ABS light remains on after installation, inspect the sensor ring, sensor, and nearby wiring for damage.

Quality Assurance

Cardone applies testing and engineering methods developed from CV axle remanufacturing experience to help the assembly meet OE performance expectations. Each shaft is verified for straightness, and the boot and seal details are designed to reduce repeat failure causes such as cracking, contamination, and leakage.
