Product Details

Cardone’s CV Axle Assembly line is engineered around the common failure points found in original CV drive axles. For this application, 66-6048 is built to deliver vibration-free performance through individually verified shaft straightness and careful attention to sealing, boot design, and joint protection. The result is a replacement axle for Nissan Maxima front left service that addresses wear-related driveline noise, grease loss, and ABS-related concerns with a new, application-specific assembly.

This part cross-references Nissan OE numbers 39101D5610 and 3910116E02 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Clicking or snapping during hard turns
• Grease on the chassis or suspension from a ruptured boot
• Front-end vibration during acceleration
• Grinding or noise from a worn outer CV joint
• ABS warning light issues related to axle sensor ring damage or signal disruption

Installation Notes

• Fits 1985-1994 Nissan Maxima, front left
• 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 manufacturer specifications
• Do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut; install the new 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 nearby wiring for damage

Quality Assurance

Cardone uses testing and engineering methods developed from CV axle failure analysis to improve durability and fit. Shafts are verified for straightness to support smooth, low-vibration operation, and the axle is supplied new with components selected for reliable service in the Nissan Maxima platform.
