Detailed Description

Cardone 66-3562 is part of the Cardone CV Axle Assembly line, a product line focused on replacement driveline components engineered to address common original axle failure points. The design emphasizes boot durability, seal integrity, and shaft straightness to help maintain smooth rear driveline performance in Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Dodge Magnum rear right applications.

High-temperature, high-torque grease is used to support long-term joint performance, while the transmission seal diameter is precision-machined after heat treatment to promote proper sealing and seal life. For vehicles that require ABS signal input, the included ring supports correct wheel speed sensing when installed properly.

This part cross-references Chrysler/Dodge OE numbers 4578034AD and 5126332AA for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Addresses

• Clicking, snapping, or grinding from the rear driveline during acceleration or turning
• Grease leakage around the axle boot or underbody contamination from a ruptured boot
• Vibration caused by axle shaft runout or a bent shaft
• ABS warning light triggered by a damaged or missing sensor ring signal
• Clunking or thump noises from worn CV joints or driveline movement

Installation Notes and Tips

• Do not let the CV axle hang unsupported during service; support the shaft to avoid inner joint damage.
• Use a torque wrench and tighten the axle nut to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification.
• Do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut; replace it with the supplied nut.
• Inspect seals and replace transaxle seals when servicing the axle to prevent leaks.
• If the ABS light remains on after installation, inspect the sensor ring, sensor, and nearby wiring for damage.

Quality Assurance

Cardone verifies axle shafts for straightness and runout to reduce vibration and maintain consistent performance. The engineering approach behind this CV axle assembly is based on diagnosing common failure causes and building the replacement part to address them directly.

Compatible With 2005-2008 Chrysler 300 rear right, 2006-2008 Dodge Charger rear right, and 2005-2008 Dodge Magnum rear right.
