Cardone 66-9356 CV Axle Assembly Automotive Replacement Compatible with BMW 525i, 525xi, 528i, 528i xDrive, 528xi, 530i, 530xi, 535i, 535i GT, 535i xDrive, 535xi Models

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. 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. 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.

• VEHICLE APPLICATION: Fits BMW 525i 2004-2007, BMW 525xi 2006-2007, BMW 528i 2008-2010, BMW 528i xDrive 2009-2010, BMW 528xi 2008, BMW 530i 2004-2005, BMW 530xi 2006-2007, BMW 535i 2008-2010, BMW 535i GT 2010, BMW 535i xDrive 2009-2010, BMW 535xi 2008
• ENGINEERED FOR OE FIT & LONG-LASTING PERFORMANCE: Built using proprietary engineering processes, each CV axle is validated for exact OE form, fit, and function. Precision-rolled splines and threads ensure a perfect connection to the hub and transmission for trouble-free installation.
• ENHANCED BOOT DURABILITY FOR EXTREME CONDITIONS: Neoprene boots feature additional bellows to resist stress and cracking—the #1 cause of axle failure. Severe-duty “HD” models upgrade to a thermoplastic outboard boot, delivering superior temperature and abrasion resistance.
• SEALED FOR PROTECTION & SMOOTH OPERATION: Pneumatically-crimped boot clamps provide a tight, reliable seal, while high-quality, high-temperature grease handles heavy torque loads for long-lasting, quiet CV joint performance.
• INSTALLATION-READY WITH NEW RETAINING NUT INCLUDED: Every unit includes a new axle retaining nut to eliminate issues caused by worn or stripped originals. Precision-machined seal surfaces ensure proper mating with the transmission and promote long seal life.
