Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noises during turns
• Grease on the chassis or suspension from a torn CV boot
• Front-end vibration caused by axle runout or shaft damage
• Grinding or binding from a worn outer or inner CV joint
• ABS warning concerns after axle replacement when sensor components are disturbed

Installation Notes

Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service, as this can damage the inner joint. Use a torque wrench to tighten the spindle nut to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification, and do not reuse a prevailing-torque lock nut. When replacing CV drive axle assemblies, install new transaxle seals to help prevent leaks. If the ABS system uses nearby sensor components, inspect them carefully during installation to avoid damage.

Quality Assurance

Cardone engineers and tests its CV drive axles to meet or exceed OE performance targets. Shafts are inspected for straightness to help prevent vibration, and the boot and grease design are selected to address the failure modes commonly seen in original axles.
