Product Details

Cardone CV axle assemblies are engineered from testing and remanufacturing experience focused on common failure points such as boot cracking, contamination, vibration, and joint wear. The shaft is individually verified for straightness to help deliver vibration-free performance at speed, while the transmission seal diameter is precision-machined after heat treatment to support proper sealing and long service life. Part number 66-3494 is a direct driveline replacement for Hyundai Sonata and Hyundai Azera front-left applications that require an ABS-equipped axle.

This part cross-references Hyundai OE numbers 495000A410 and 495003K410 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 axle boot
• Front-end vibration caused by axle runout or shaft imbalance
• ABS warning light issues after axle replacement when the sensor ring signal is affected
• Thumping or driveline shudder from a damaged inner or outer joint

Installation Notes and Tips

• Do not let the CV axle hang unsupported during service; support the shaft to avoid joint damage.
• Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and tighten to manufacturer specifications.
• Do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut; install the supplied new nut.
• Replace transaxle seals when servicing CV axle assemblies to help prevent leaks.
• Inspect the ABS sensor, wiring, and ring during installation to avoid signal faults.

Quality Assurance

Cardone designs its CV Drive Axle assemblies around known OE failure modes and verifies shafts for straightness to help reduce vibration.
