Product Details

This Cardone CV axle assembly is built around the brand’s CV Drive Axle engineering process, which focuses on the failure points commonly seen in original units. For BMW X5 front right and BMW X6 front right service, Cardone 66-9319 uses a splined 27-tooth input shaft, a splined 30-tooth output shaft, a 36mm spindle nut hex head size, and an M27 x 1.5 spindle nut thread size. The compressed length is 40.12 inches, and the assembly is supplied new for direct driveline replacement.

This part cross-references BMW 31607545126 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

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

Installation Notes

Fits 2007-2018 BMW X5, front right, and 2008-2018 BMW X6, 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 tighten to manufacturer specifications; do not use an impact wrench for final installation. Replace the prevailing-torque lock nut rather than reusing the old one, and install new transaxle seals when replacing CV axle assemblies to help prevent leaks.

Quality Assurance

Cardone verifies CV drive axle shafts for straightness and runout control to support smooth operation at speed. The design also focuses on boot durability, seal life, and OE-level performance for BMW X5 and BMW X6 driveline service.
