The Cardone New CV Axle Assembly (part number 66-8156) is a direct-fit replacement for 2003-2008 Mazda vehicles with 3.0L engines.
Features:
- Proprietary engineering processes ensure that all CV Drive Axles meet O.E. form, fit and function.
- Neoprene boots are designed with additional bellows, when needed, to resist bellow stress and cracking, which is the leading cause of boot failure.
- CV Drive Axle part numbers with an "HD" suffix are severe-duty applications and include a thermoplastic outboard boot for increased life and durability versus a traditional neoprene boot.
- A new axle retaining nut is supplied with every unit for a hassle-free installation, due to the likelihood that the original retaining nut is worn or stripped.
- CV Drive Axle measurements are validated after assembly to ensure a proper fit.
- Boot clamps are pneumatically crimped, creating a perfect seal between the boot and housing.
- High-quality grease withstands high-temperature and high-torque demands to ensure long-lasting, reliable performance.
- Splines are precision rolled to ensure proper fit of CV Drive Axle into the mating hub and transmission, which eliminates installation hassles.
- Threads are precision rolled to ensure proper fit when axle nut is installed.
- Transmission seal diameter is precision-machined after heat treatment to ensure correct surface finish, promoting long seal life.

| FAQ_Q1 | I installed a replacement CV drive axle and now my ABS light is on and won't go out. Why? |
| FAA_A1 | When the replacement drive axle was installed, the sensor ring, sensor, or sensor wiring on or near the axle was damaged, causing an erratic speed signal to the ABS module and setting the light on. |
| FAQ_Q2 | When I cut the wheel hard and step on the gas, I hear loud clicking and snapping. What's making that noise? |
