Product Details

The Cardone CV axle assembly 66-5224 is designed for front right replacement on Toyota Corolla, Toyota Matrix, and Pontiac Vibe models listed in the fitment data. Cardone engineers these axles to address common causes of repeat failure, including boot cracking, contamination, and vibration from shaft runout. Each shaft is individually checked for straightness to help deliver stable performance at speed.

This part cross-references Toyota OE numbers such as 4341002A00 and 4341001130 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noises during hard turns and acceleration
• Grease leakage around the axle boot or suspension area
• Front-end vibration or thumping under load
• ABS warning light after axle replacement when the sensor ring is damaged or incorrect
• Grinding noise from the front end caused by CV joint wear

Installation Notes

• Fits 2003-2018 Toyota Corolla, front right; 2019 Toyota Corolla, front right
• Fits 2003-2012 Toyota Matrix, front right; 2013 Toyota Matrix, front right before 10/2012

• Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service; this can damage the inner joint
• Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and tighten to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification
• Do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut; install the new spindle nut supplied with the axle
• Replace transaxle seals when servicing CV drive axles to help prevent leaks
• If the ABS light remains on after installation, inspect the sensor ring, sensor, and wiring for damage
