Product Details

Cardone’s CV Drive Axle engineering focuses on the failure points commonly seen in original equipment axles, including boot cracking, grease loss, contamination, and vibration. The 66-6182 is designed around those service concerns with verified shaft straightness, precision-machined seal surfaces after heat treatment, and durable boot construction to support long-term driveline performance on the Nissan Sentra and Nissan 200SX front left position.

Common Problems This Axle Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noise during hard turns and acceleration
• Grease on the chassis or suspension from a ruptured outer 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
• Grinding or binding from a worn outer or inner CV joint

Installation Notes

• 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; replace it with the supplied new nut.
• Install new transaxle seals when replacing CV axle assemblies to help prevent leaks.
• Inspect the ABS sensor, wiring, and ring during installation to avoid an erratic speed signal.

Quality Assurance

Cardone applies testing and engineering methods developed from CV axle failure analysis to help deliver OE-level performance characteristics. Each shaft is checked for straightness, and the assembly uses materials and sealing details selected to support reliable operation in service.
