Description

A1 CARDONE 66-7461 rear CV axle for the 2000-2004 Audi A6 Quattro sends drive torque to the wheel hub. A1 CARDONE axles are engineered around why original CVs fail, including boot cracking from stress and ozone.

Neoprene boots with additional bellows, when needed, to resist bellows stress and cracking
Shaft individually verified for straightness for vibration-free performance at all speeds
Boot clamps pneumatically crimped to seal the boot to the housing
Precision-rolled splines and threads for proper fit in the hub, transmission and axle nut
Grease that withstands high-temperature and high-torque demands

Clicking or snapping when you turn, grease around the suspension or a vibration under acceleration can mean a worn joint or a torn boot on the CV axle assembly. These signs alone do not prove the axle is the problem, since a worn wheel bearing can make similar noise.
