Product Details

Cardone’s CV axle assembly line is engineered around common failure points found in original drive axles, including boot cracking, grease loss, and shaft runout. Part number 66-7460 uses a precision-machined transmission seal diameter after heat treatment to support proper sealing and long seal life. The assembly is supplied as a direct driveline replacement for front right service on 2015-2016 Audi Q3, 2015-2018 Audi Q3 Quattro, 2009-2017 Volkswagen Tiguan, and 2017-2018 Volkswagen Tiguan Limited.

Common Problems This Part Addresses

• Clicking or snapping noise during hard turns
• Grease on the chassis or suspension from a torn CV boot
• Vibration under acceleration from axle runout or shaft imbalance
• Grinding or thumping from a worn outer CV joint
• ABS warning light caused by damaged sensor wiring or ring components during axle service

Installation Notes

Fits 2015-2016 Audi Q3, front right; Fits 2015-2018 Audi Q3 Quattro, front right; Fits 2009-2017 Volkswagen Tiguan, front right; Fits 2017-2018 Volkswagen Tiguan Limited, front right. Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service, as this can damage the inner joint. Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and follow manufacturer torque specifications. Replace the prevailing-torque lock nut rather than reusing the old one. Inspect transaxle seals and replace them during CV axle service if leakage or wear is present.

Quality Assurance

Cardone engineers and tests CV drive axles to meet or exceed original equipment performance targets. Each shaft is checked for straightness to help reduce vibration, and the boot and grease package are selected to support durable driveline operation in demanding service conditions.
