Product Details

Cardone engineers its CV Drive Axles around common failure points found in original units. The boot design uses neoprene material with additional bellows when required to reduce stress and ozone cracking, while the shaft is individually checked for straightness to help maintain vibration-free operation at speed. High-temperature grease and pneumatically crimped boot clamps support consistent joint sealing and long-term service.

This part cross-references Infiniti 39101AL860 for the same application. Use Cardone 66-6281 when replacing a worn or damaged front left axle on a 2004-2006 INFINITI G35.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping during hard turns
• Grease leakage around the axle boot
• Front-end vibration during acceleration
• Grinding noise from the driveline area
• ABS warning light after axle replacement when the sensor ring is damaged or misread

Installation Notes

Do not let the CV axle hang unsupported during service, as this can damage the inner joint or separate the shaft. Always replace the axle nut with the supplied new nut and tighten it with a torque wrench to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification. Do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut. If the transaxle seal shows wear or leakage, replace it during axle service to help prevent fluid loss.

If the old axle is stuck in the hub, use an appropriate removal method that avoids damage to the hub, bearing, or sensor components. Verify that the ABS ring, sensor, and wiring are not damaged during installation.

Quality Assurance

Cardone’s CV axle engineering process includes runout verification for shaft straightness and inspection methods aimed at reducing vibration and repeat failure. The brand’s CV Drive Axle design also addresses common boot and joint failure causes to support dependable driveline performance in INFINITI G35 service applications.
