A clicking or snapping noise when you turn with the wheel cut hard, or a thump and vibration when you accelerate, can mean a joint is worn. Grease on the chassis or suspension can mean a boot has split. A broken engine mount can produce similar symptoms, so look over the boots and mounts by eye with the engine off before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the CV axle for a 1994-1998 Pontiac Grand Am?
Yes. CARDONE New 66-1110 is the front right CV axle for the 1994-1998 Pontiac Grand Am. The front left side is a separate part.
Does this CV axle come with a new axle nut?
Yes, a new hex axle retaining nut (M20x1.5 thread, 30 mm socket) comes with the axle, along with an instruction sheet. The CV joints are already on the axle.
Does the front right CV axle include the ABS tone ring?
Yes. CARDONE New 66-1110 has a toothed ABS tone ring with 48 teeth.
How can I tell if a CV axle boot is damaged?
With the engine off, look for splits in the boot or grease thrown onto the chassis and suspension. Clicking when turning or vibration under acceleration can also come from a worn joint.
What should I do with the old locking axle nut?
Discard it and fit the new nut supplied, because a prevailing torque lock nut should never go back on the axle. Tighten the new nut with a torque wrench to the manufacturer's specification, not an impact wrench.
