Product Details

Cardone focuses on CV drive axle engineering to address common failure points found in original units. For this CV axle assembly, the shaft is individually verified for straightness to help deliver smooth operation and reduce vibration concerns. The boot, grease, and seal surfaces are selected to support long-term driveline performance in Subaru rear axle service. This part number, 66-7264, is a direct-fit replacement for rear axle repair on compatible Subaru Impreza and Subaru Legacy models.

This part cross-references Subaru 28021AC101 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noises during turns
• Grease leakage around the axle boot or underbody
• Vibration from a bent or out-of-straight axle shaft
• ABS warning light concerns after axle replacement when the sensor ring is involved
• Rear driveline noise from a worn CV joint

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 1993-2000 Subaru Impreza, rear right and rear left.
• Fits 1997-1999 Subaru Legacy, rear right and rear left.
• Never allow CV drive axles to hang unsupported during service.
• Use a torque wrench for the retaining nut and follow manufacturer torque specifications.
• Do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut; install a new nut during service.
• Replace transaxle seals when servicing CV drive 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 applies testing and engineering methods developed from CV axle remanufacturing experience to help meet OE-level performance expectations. Each shaft is checked for straightness, and the design addresses known boot-failure causes such as bellows stress and ozone cracking.
