Product Details

Built for driveline service on Mini applications, this Cardone CV axle assembly is designed to address common CV failure points such as boot cracking, grease loss, contamination, and shaft runout. The Cardone 66-9752 uses engineering updates based on failure analysis, including improved boot design and precision-machined sealing surfaces after heat treatment to support seal life. This part cross-references Mini 31609806469 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Solve

• Clicking or snapping during hard turns
• Grease on the chassis or suspension from a ruptured outer boot
• Front-end vibration during acceleration
• Grinding or noise from a worn outer CV joint
• Axle-related wobble or binding from shaft or joint wear

Installation Notes

• Fits 2011-2016 Mini Cooper Countryman, front left, and 2013-2016 Mini Cooper Paceman, front left.
• 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 manufacturer specifications.
• Do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut; install the supplied new nut.
• Replace transaxle seals when servicing CV drive axles to help prevent leaks.
• If the vehicle uses ABS, verify sensor ring and wiring condition before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

Cardone engineers and tests CV drive axles to meet or exceed original equipment performance targets. Each shaft is verified for straightness, and the assembly uses materials and sealing details selected to support consistent driveline operation on Mini Cooper Countryman and Mini Cooper Paceman applications.
