Product Details

Cardone’s CV Axle Assembly line is engineered from testing and remanufacturing experience focused on the failure points that commonly affect CV drive axles. The design emphasizes boot durability, seal integrity, and shaft runout control to help maintain smooth operation under everyday driving loads. Part number 66-6242 is a direct-fit driveline replacement for the front left side of the Nissan Quest in the listed model years, and it includes an ABS ring for vehicles equipped with wheel speed sensing at the axle.

This part cross-references Nissan 39101CK000 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noises during turns from a worn outer CV joint
• Grease leakage around the axle boot or suspension area
• Vibration caused by axle shaft runout or wear
• ABS warning light concerns after axle replacement when the sensor ring is damaged or incorrect
• Grinding or binding from a failing CV joint or boot contamination

Installation Notes

• Fits 2004-2006 Nissan Quest, front left.
• Do not let the CV 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 supplied new axle nut.
• Replace transaxle seals when servicing CV axle assemblies 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 verifies CV axle shafts for straightness and runout control before use in assembly, helping support vibration-free operation at speed. The brand’s engineering approach focuses on reducing repeat failure by addressing boot cracking, seal wear, and driveline stress points in the replacement design.
