Product Details

Cardone 66-3546 is part of the Cardone CV Axle Assembly line, a driveline-focused product line built around OE-style fit and durability requirements. The assembly is engineered to address common failure points found in original CV axles, including boot cracking, grease loss, contamination, and vibration from shaft runout. For Mitsubishi Outlander front left axle replacement, this unit provides a direct-service solution with the correct spline counts and compressed length for the listed application.

This part cross-references Mitsubishi 3815A137 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Resolve

• Clicking or snapping during turns from a worn outer CV joint
• Grease on the chassis or suspension from a ruptured CV boot
• Front-end vibration caused by axle runout or shaft imbalance
• Thumping or driveline shake during acceleration
• Binding or noise from a damaged inner or outer CV joint

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 2007-2013 Mitsubishi Outlander, 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 manufacturer specifications.
• Do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut; install the supplied new axle nut.
• Replace transaxle seals when servicing CV axle assemblies to help prevent leaks.
• If the ABS light is on after replacement, inspect the sensor ring, sensor, and wiring for damage.

Quality Assurance

Cardone engineers and tests CV drive axles to meet or exceed OE performance targets. Shafts are verified for straightness, and boot and grease materials are selected to support long-term driveline operation under heat, torque, and road exposure.
