Detailed Description

The Cardone CV axle assembly 66-4088 is a direct replacement driveline component for front left service on the Honda Accord and Acura CL. It is built to address common CV axle failure points by using a durable boot design, sealed joint protection, and shaft verification for consistent operation. The ABS ring is included, which is important for maintaining proper wheel speed signal function on equipped vehicles.

This part cross-references Honda 44010SF1914 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noises during hard turns and acceleration
• Grease leakage from a torn or cracked CV boot
• Front-end vibration caused by axle runout or shaft imbalance
• ABS warning light triggered by a damaged sensor ring or related axle component
• Grinding or binding from a worn outer or inner CV joint

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 1997-1999 Acura CL, front left, and 1994-1997 Honda Accord, front left.
• Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service; this can damage the inner joint.
• Use a torque wrench for the retaining nut and tighten to the manufacturer specification.
• Do not reuse the old prevailing-torque lock nut; install the supplied new spindle nut.
• Replace transaxle seals when servicing CV axle assemblies 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 engineers and tests its CV drive axles to meet or exceed OE performance targets. Shafts are verified for straightness, and the boot and grease selection are designed to reduce repeat failure from cracking, contamination, and heat-related wear.
