Cardone 66-7259 New CV Axle

Axle fit perfectly on my 02 Forester. Came on time and exactly as described. I bought 1 from autozone for double the price for the other side and they're both doing what it's supposed to do. I've had it on for months now with no issue so I definitely recommend buying this Axle. Great quality and great price.

Affordable and does the job. Make sure you check for male vs female connection to the transmission. I ordered the male version after Amazon told me it would fit but realized after pulling the old axle that I needed the female version for it. Easy enough job to replace them and it came with the 32mm hub nut and a roll pin to attach them.

Cardone 66-7259 New CV Axle came well-packaged, including new spindle nut and spring/roll pin. Installed with no problems. Road-tested with no problems, including tight loaded-up turns left and right.Most importantly, no vibrations while stopped and idling in gear, a problem on Subaru's with some aftermarket CV axles. We'll see how long it lasts: Subaru reman CV axle that it replaced lasted 115,000 miles.

These lasted 5 years and 50,000 miles, until a boot tore. Since the car I'm installing them on car has 230,000 miles on it, I'm just going to get a couple more, because I doubt the car will get to 280,000 miles.

Used two of these on a 2002 Impreza TS Wagon. Fits well and seams to work well.For any of you installing one for the first time, I suggest once you think you have the hole lined up for the new pin that you then take a phillips screw driver that just fits and move it around a bit to make sure the hole is lined up. Then you can gently tap in the pin. Note that one end of pin is tapered - tapered end goes in first. I used a small long socket that just fit around the pin to tap it in part of the way, then I used an appropriate sized pin driver to drive it home.

Pro: axle includes new axle nut.Con:This axle did not come with a replacement roll pin.This axle doesn't match the picture.This axle is significantly longer than my existing cv assembly.This axle seems to generate a drive line vibration at 45mph under acceleration.I would order another shaft, as I don't seem to have axle bind from this shaft... but how can I be sure the shaft will be a match? I feel like the vibration is caused by mismatched axle assembly mass.What is your recommendation?

We have a 2002 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport. This is the second CV axle I had to replace. 1st it was the driver side, then it was the passenger side. Exact fit. Not too hard to do solo. Very good product indeed.

Decent enough. Did the job, fit fine, no core, no complain.
