Front Axle Automatic (Left) - MINI / R60 / R61

CARDONE's extensive experience in testing and engineering CV Drive Axles is the foundation behind our proprietary method of engineering a product that meets and even exceed O.E. performance. We have researched the reasons why original CVs typically fail and designed new solutions to avoid repeat failure. For example, our Neoprene boots are designed with additional bellows, when needed, to resist bellow stress and ozone cracking - the leading cause of boot failure. Additionally, all CV Drive Axle shafts are individually verified for straightness, resulting in vibration-free performance at all speeds.

Features and Benefits

• 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
