Product Details

Cardone’s CV axle assembly line is engineered from testing and remanufacturing experience focused on common original-equipment failure points. For this application, the design emphasizes boot durability, seal integrity, and shaft straightness to support smooth operation in daily driving. The Cardone 66-8152 is a direct driveline replacement for the front left side on the Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, and Mazda 6 listed below, and it cross-references Ford 6E5Z3A427A for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Clicking or snapping during turns from a worn outer CV joint
• Grease leakage around the axle boot from a ruptured boot
• Front-end vibration caused by axle runout or shaft imbalance
• ABS warning light concerns after axle service when the sensor ring is damaged or incorrect
• Thumping or driveline noise related to a failing CV axle assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2006-2009 Ford Fusion, front left. Fits 2006-2009 Mercury Milan, front left. Fits 2003-2008 Mazda 6, front left. Replace the axle retaining nut during service, and torque it to the manufacturer specification rather than using an impact wrench. Do not let the axle hang unsupported during removal or installation, and inspect the transaxle seals before reassembly. If the ABS light remains on after service, verify the sensor ring, sensor, and wiring near the axle.

Quality Assurance

Cardone engineers and tests CV drive axles to meet or exceed original-equipment performance targets. Each shaft is checked for straightness, and the assembly uses boot and grease materials selected to support long-term driveline service in demanding front-wheel-drive applications.
