Product Details

Cardone 66-6156 is a new CV axle assembly engineered for front right driveline service on the Nissan Maxima and Infiniti I30 with locking differential. The design focuses on common CV failure points, including boot cracking, grease loss, contamination, and shaft runout. Cardone also precision-machines the transmission seal diameter after heat treatment to help promote proper sealing and long seal life. This part cross-references Nissan 3910031U01 and Infiniti 3910031U11 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping during hard turns
• Grease on the chassis or suspension from a ruptured outer boot
• Front-end vibration caused by axle runout or imbalance
• ABS warning light triggered by a damaged sensor ring or related axle component
• Thumping or driveline vibration during acceleration

Installation Notes

• Fits 1995-1999 Nissan Maxima, front right, with locking differential.
• Fits 1996-1999 Infiniti I30, front right, with locking differential.
• Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service.
• Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and tighten to manufacturer specifications.
• Do not reuse the prevailing torque lock nut; install the new spindle nut supplied with the axle.
