Product Details
Cardone’s CV axle engineering focuses on the failure points that commonly affect original driveline components, including boot cracking, grease loss, contamination, and vibration from shaft runout. This 66-7070 assembly uses a precision-machined transmission seal diameter after heat treatment, a verified straight shaft, and a sealed boot-and-joint design to support smooth operation in Audi S4, Audi A4 Quattro, and Audi 90 Quattro rear driveline service. This part cross-references Audi 8A0501203E and 8A0501203J for the same application.
Common Problems This Part Can Address
- Clicking or snapping noise during hard turns
- Grease leakage around the axle boot or suspension area
- Vibration at speed caused by axle runout or imbalance
- ABS warning light triggered by a damaged sensor ring or wiring near the axle
- Grinding or binding from a worn outer or inner CV joint
Installation Notes
Install new transaxle seals when replacing CV drive axle assemblies to help prevent leaks. Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service, and do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut. Use a torque wrench to tighten the retaining nut to the manufacturer’s specification; do not use an impact wrench for final installation. If the ABS light remains on after replacement, inspect the sensor ring, sensor, and nearby wiring for damage.
Quality Assurance
Cardone applies 100% runout inspection to shafts used in remanufacturing and verifies straightness to help reduce vibration. The brand’s CV axle design process is based on testing and engineering aimed at addressing common original-equipment failure modes, including boot stress and ozone cracking.
