Cardone 66-4096 CV Axle Assembly - Front Right

Cardone CV Axle Assembly 66-4096

Cardone 66-4096 is a new CV axle assembly engineered for OE-style driveline performance, smooth power transfer, and vibration-free operation. It is built with a splined 29-tooth input shaft, a splined 28-tooth output shaft, and an ABS ring with 50 teeth for proper sensor signal support.

Compatible With Acura applications that use part number 44010SL5952, this CV axle assembly is designed for drivers replacing a worn or noisy front axle on select Acura driveline setups. The Cardone CV Axle Assembly line focuses on measured shaft straightness, boot durability, and seal integrity to help maintain consistent operation under everyday torque and temperature demands.

Key Features

• Part number 66-4096 new CV axle assembly

• Stake-style axle nut locking type
• Compressed length: 23.8125 in.
• Splined 29-tooth input shaft and 28-tooth output shaft
• Spindle nut included
• High-temperature grease for driveline service
• Neoprene boot design with added bellows where needed to reduce stress and cracking
• Boot clamps are pneumatically crimped for a tight seal
• Each shaft is verified for straightness to help reduce vibration

Product Details

Cardone builds this CV axle assembly around the failure points commonly seen in original drive axles, including boot cracking, grease loss, contamination, and shaft runout. The axle uses precision-machined seal surfaces after heat treatment to support long seal life, while the boot and clamp design help keep lubricant contained and contaminants out. For Acura driveline service, 66-4096 provides a direct replacement solution for restoring axle function, ABS signal integrity, and smooth acceleration.

This part cross-references Acura 44010SL5952 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Addresses

• Clicking or snapping during turns from a worn outer CV joint
• Grease on the chassis or suspension from a ruptured boot
• Vibration during acceleration caused by axle runout or shaft damage
• ABS warning light issues related to a damaged sensor ring or axle-mounted sensor path
• Grinding or binding from a failing inner or outer CV joint

Installation Notes

Do not let the CV axle hang unsupported during service, since that can damage the inner joint or separate the axle. Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and tighten it to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification; do not use an impact wrench for final installation. Replace the old prevailing-torque nut with the supplied spindle nut, and install new transaxle seals when replacing CV drive axle assemblies to help prevent leaks.

If the hub-side stub shaft is stuck, use an appropriate removal method for the hub assembly rather than forcing the axle. Inspect nearby ABS wiring and the sensor ring before final assembly to avoid an erratic speed signal after installation.

Quality Assurance

Cardone’s CV axle engineering process is based on testing and remanufacturing knowledge developed around OE driveline failure modes. Shafts are individually checked for straightness, and the assembly uses materials and sealing details selected to support stable operation under high torque and temperature conditions.
