Product Details

Cardone’s New CV Axle Assembly line focuses on replacing worn driveline components with a new axle built around common failure points. For the Dodge Journey rear right application, part number 66-3609 uses a steel shaft and Neoprene boot construction to address boot cracking and joint contamination concerns. The axle is supplied with CV joints and an axle nut, and the shaft is individually verified for straightness to help maintain balanced operation. This part cross-references Chrysler OE numbers 4743818AB and 4743818AC for the same application.

Common Problems This Axle Can Address

• Clicking or snapping during turns
• Thumping or vibration during acceleration
• Grease leakage around the axle boot
• Grinding or noise from a worn CV joint
• Driveline shake caused by a bent or out-of-balance axle shaft

Installation Notes

• Fits 2009-2019 Dodge Journey, rear right.

• Do not reuse a prevailing-torque axle nut; install a new nut.
• Use a torque wrench and tighten the axle nut to manufacturer specifications.
• Replace transaxle seals when servicing CV axle assemblies to help prevent leaks.
• If the ABS light appears after replacement, inspect the sensor ring, sensor, and wiring for damage.
