Product Details

Cardone designs its CV Drive Axles around the failure points commonly seen in original units. This assembly uses neoprene boots with added bellows where needed to reduce stress and ozone cracking, while the axle shaft is individually checked for straightness to help maintain vibration-free operation at speed. The transmission seal diameter is precision-machined after heat treatment to support proper sealing and long service life. This part cross-references Saab 5171194 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noises during hard turns and acceleration
• Grease leakage around the axle boot or chassis area
• Front-end vibration caused by axle runout or shaft imbalance
• ABS warning light after axle replacement when the sensor ring is damaged or incorrect
• Grinding or wobble from a worn outer CV joint

Installation Notes

• Fits 1999-2002 Saab 9-3, front right.
• Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service; this can damage the inner joint.
• Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and tighten to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification.
• Do not reuse the prevailing-torque lock nut; install the supplied new nut.
• Replace transaxle seals during CV axle service to help prevent leaks.
• Inspect the ABS sensor, wiring, and ring during installation to avoid speed signal issues.

Quality Assurance

Cardone engineers and tests its CV Drive Axles to meet or exceed original equipment performance targets. Shafts are verified for straightness and runout control to help reduce vibration, and the boot and seal design is built around common causes of repeat CV axle failure.
