Product Details

The Cardone CV Axle Assembly line is built from engineering and testing experience focused on the common causes of CV axle failure. For this application, the axle shaft is checked for straightness to help maintain vibration-free performance, while the boot design and sealing approach are aimed at reducing the risk of grease loss and contamination. This part number, 66-9355, is a direct-fit driveline replacement for BMW rear right applications listed in the fitment data, including BMW 328i, 335i, 335i xDrive, and M3 models.

This part cross-references BMW 33207580946 and 33217553560 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noises during hard turns and acceleration
• Grease on the chassis or suspension from a ruptured CV boot
• Vibration during acceleration caused by axle runout or wear
• Grinding or thumping from a worn outer or inner CV joint
• ABS warning issues after axle replacement when sensor components are disturbed

• Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service.
• Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and tighten to manufacturer specifications.
• Replace the prevailing torque lock nut rather than reusing the old nut.
• Install new transaxle seals when replacing CV axle assemblies to help prevent leaks.
• Inspect ABS sensor rings, wiring, and nearby components during installation.

Quality Assurance

Cardone applies testing and engineering methods developed around CV drive axle failure prevention, including 100% shaft runout inspection to help ensure only shafts within specification are used in remanufacturing. The brand also uses precision-machined seal surfaces after heat treatment to support proper sealing and long service life.
