Product Details

Cardone engineers its CV Drive Axles with failure prevention in mind, using testing and remanufacturing methods developed from real-world CV joint wear patterns. For this 66-3774 axle, the boot design, grease selection, and shaft verification process are aimed at maintaining OE-style operation in daily driving conditions. If you are replacing a worn axle on a Kia Forte, Kia Forte Koup, or Kia Forte5, this assembly is built to match the listed front left application and support smooth acceleration and steering response.

This part cross-references Kia 495011M310 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Clicking or snapping during turns from a worn outer CV joint
• Grease leakage from a ruptured CV boot
• Front-end vibration caused by axle runout or shaft wear
• Thumping or shuddering during acceleration
• ABS warning light concerns related to a damaged sensor ring or axle-side sensor area

Installation Notes

Fits 2010-2013 Kia Forte, front left; 2010 Kia Forte Koup, front left; 2011-2013 Kia Forte Koup, front left; and 2012-2013 Kia Forte5, front left. Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service, as this can damage the inner joint. Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque specification. Replace the old prevailing-torque nut rather than reusing it, and install new transaxle seals when replacing CV drive axle assemblies to help prevent leaks.

Quality Assurance

Cardone verifies CV axle shafts for straightness and runout before use, helping support vibration-free operation at speed. The brand’s CV axle engineering focuses on reducing common failure points such as boot cracking, seal wear, and joint contamination. Part number 66-3774 is a new assembly supplied with the listed components for the specified Kia applications.
