Keep power flowing smoothly from the transaxle to the wheel with the CARDONE New CV Axle Assembly 66-2249 — a direct-fit replacement Ford Escape cv axle that also drops into the 2009-2011 Mazda Tribute and 2009-2011 Mercury Mariner. Built through CARDONE's proprietary engineering process, it's designed to meet, and even exceed, O.E. form, fit and function, addressing the reasons original CV axles typically fail.
Straightness-verified shaft: every shaft is individually checked for straightness for vibration-free performance at all speeds.
Neoprene boots: designed with additional bellows, when needed, to resist bellow stress and ozone cracking — the leading cause of boot failure.
New retaining nut included: a new axle retaining nut ships with every unit for a hassle-free install, since the original is often worn or stripped.
Pneumatically crimped boot clamps: create a tight seal between boot and housing, with high-quality grease that withstands high-temperature and high-torque demands.
Splines and threads are precision rolled for proper fit into the mating hub and transmission and correct axle-nut engagement, and the transmission seal diameter is precision-machined after heat treatment to promote long seal life. Signs this axle may need replacing include clicking during turns, vibration under acceleration, or grease flung from a torn boot. Fitment: 2009-2012 Ford Escape, 2009-2011 Mazda Tribute, 2009-2011 Mercury Mariner — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
