Product Details

The Cardone CV Axle Assembly 66-6054 is a direct driveline replacement for Nissan Altima front left applications. It is designed to address common CV axle failure causes such as boot cracking, grease loss, contamination, and shaft runout. The axle’s verified straightness helps support vibration-free performance, while the precision-machined seal surface is intended to promote long seal life. This part cross-references Nissan 391012B005 and 391012B015 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping during turns from a worn outer CV joint
• Grease on the chassis or suspension from a ruptured boot
• Front-end vibration caused by axle runout or shaft imbalance
• ABS warning light after axle replacement when the sensor ring is damaged or incorrect
• Thumping or driveline shudder during acceleration from a failing axle assembly

Installation Notes

• Fits 1994-1997 Nissan Altima, front left, and 1993 Nissan Altima, front left, without locking differential
• Do not let the CV axle hang unsupported during service
• Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and follow manufacturer torque specifications
