Product Details

Cardone’s CV axle engineering focuses on the failure points that commonly shorten axle life. The boot design uses neoprene with added bellows where needed to reduce stress and help resist ozone cracking, while the shaft is individually checked for straightness to support smooth, vibration-free operation at speed. Boot clamps are pneumatically crimped for a secure seal, and the transmission seal diameter is precision-machined after heat treatment to help promote proper sealing and long service life. This part number, 66-3532, is a direct-fit replacement for front right driveline service on the Kia Rondo, Kia Magentis, and Kia Optima.

This part cross-references Kia OE numbers 495001D500 and 495002G500 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noises during turns
• Grease on the chassis or suspension from a torn CV boot
• Front-end vibration caused by axle runout or shaft imbalance
• ABS warning light concerns related to a damaged sensor ring or axle-side signal issue
• Grinding or binding from a worn outer or inner CV joint

Installation Notes

• Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service; support it to avoid joint damage.
• Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and tighten to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification.
• Do not reuse the old prevailing-torque axle nut; install the supplied new nut.
• Replace transaxle seals when servicing 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 builds this CV axle assembly using testing and engineering methods developed from OE replacement experience. Each shaft is verified for straightness to help reduce vibration, and the design addresses common boot and seal failure points for dependable service on the Kia Rondo, Kia Magentis, and Kia Optima.
