Product Details

Cardone’s CV axle assembly line is built around remanufacturing and engineering practices developed from CV drive axle testing. For this application, the axle uses a splined input shaft with 31 splines, a splined output shaft with 40 splines, and a bolt-style axle nut locking type. The compressed length is 21.692 inches, and the package includes the complete axle and instruction sheet. This part cross-references Volvo 36000509 and 36000937 for the same application.

Installation Notes

• Do not let the CV axle hang unsupported during service; support the shaft to avoid joint damage.
• Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and tighten to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification.
