Product Details

Cardone builds this CV axle assembly using testing and engineering methods developed to address common axle failure points such as boot cracking, grease loss, contamination, and vibration. Shafts are individually checked for straightness and runout to help deliver smooth operation at all speeds. The Cardone CV Axle Assembly line focuses on restoring driveline function with OE-level dimensions and materials suited for daily driving.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noise during turns from a worn outer CV joint
• Grease on the chassis or suspension from a ruptured axle boot
• Vibration during acceleration caused by shaft runout or wear
• ABS warning light after axle replacement when the sensor ring is damaged or incorrect
• Binding or driveline noise from a failing inner or outer joint

Installation Notes

Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service, as this can damage the inner joint. Always replace the old prevailing-torque axle nut with the supplied new nut and tighten it with a torque wrench to the manufacturer specification; do not use an impact wrench for final installation. When replacing CV axle assemblies, install new transaxle seals 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’s CV axle engineering process includes straightness verification and runout inspection to help reduce vibration concerns and support consistent driveline performance. The design also addresses common boot-failure causes with reinforced neoprene boot construction and secure crimped clamps.
