Product Details

The Cardone CV Axle Assembly 66-9682 is built for the front left side of the Volvo XC60 and is designed around the common failure points seen in CV drive axles. Cardone uses engineering and testing methods focused on boot life, shaft runout control, and joint durability to help maintain smooth power transfer from the transaxle to the wheel. This part number, 66-9682, is a direct replacement choice for drivers servicing a Volvo XC60 front axle application.

This part cross-references Volvo 36001813 and 36002544 for the same application.
