Product Details

This Cardone CV Axle Assembly is engineered as a replacement driveline component for rear left applications on the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Dodge Magnum. Cardone’s CV axle program focuses on correcting common failure points found in original units, including boot cracking, seal wear, and vibration caused by shaft runout. Each shaft is individually verified for straightness to help deliver smooth operation at speed. The part number 66-3649 is also referenced for the same application under Chrysler 4726101AD, 5139949AA, and 5139949AB, as well as Dodge 4726101AD, 5139949AA, and 5139949AB.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noises during turns
• Grease leakage around the axle boot or underbody
• Vibration during acceleration or at road speed
• ABS warning light caused by damaged axle sensor components
• Grinding or binding from a worn CV joint

Installation Notes and Tips

Use a torque wrench when installing the retaining nut and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque specification. Do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut; replace it with the supplied new nut. Keep the axle supported during service so it does not hang from the joints, and inspect transaxle seals before reassembly. If the ABS sensor ring, sensor, or wiring was damaged during removal or installation, repair it before returning the vehicle to service.

Quality Assurance

Cardone designs its CV drive axles around known failure causes in original equipment units. The axle shaft is checked for straightness to help reduce vibration, and the boot and grease package are selected for durability under heat and torque load. For 2005-2008 Chrysler 300 rear left, 2007-2008 Dodge Charger rear left, and 2005-2008 Dodge Magnum rear left service, Cardone 66-3649 is built to meet the demands of daily driveline operation.
