Product Details

Cardone designs its CV Drive Axle assemblies around the failure points commonly seen in original units, including boot cracking, grease loss, contamination, and vibration from shaft runout. The 66-3529 axle uses a precision-machined transmission seal diameter after heat treatment to support proper sealing and long service life. For Kia Rondo owners needing a front left replacement, this axle assembly is built to deliver OE-style driveline function with the correct ABS ring configuration and spline counts for the listed application. This part cross-references Kia 495011D201 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noises during turns
• Grease leakage around the axle boot or chassis
• Front-end vibration during acceleration
• ABS warning light after axle replacement when the sensor ring is not correct
• Grinding or binding from a worn outer or inner CV joint

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 2007-2011 Kia Rondo, front left.
• 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 the prevailing torque lock nut; install the supplied new axle nut.
• 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.
