Correct Seal Finish
The competitor’s seal surface was not polished
and will ruin the differential as a result.
CARDONE polishes every unit (as seen by the shiny surface)
so the unit will function
correctly.

Boot Clamps Fastened with a Repeatable Process
The competitor boot clamp does not seal correctly. It is tightened by "feel" similar to adjusting valves on a car with a feeler gauge. The problem is that the process is not repeatable and therefore the boot clamps can be loose as seen in this photo.
The CARDONE boot clamp is pneumatically crimped by a tool that crimps with 700 lbs. force every time. This tool is calibrated on a daily basis to ensure clamps are crimped with the same force every time
thus ensuring a perfect fit every time.

Improved Boot Design
The CARDONE boot on the right contains more "bellows". This decreases stress on the boot which will help the unit last longer than the competitor unit.

Correct Boot for the Correct Application
This competitor supplied unit shows a Toyota Joint with a Ford Taurus boot. As you can see from the side view
the boot does not seal correctly. As a result
the joint will leak grease onto the exhaust. When the grease burns off
it will emit an offensive odor.
CARDONE matches boots with the correct joints
thus ensuring a perfect fit and longer lasting part.

Splines Chased 100%
CARDONE chases splines 100% of the time. This accomplishes two things: it ensures that the unit always has a correct spline count and that the splines are not damaged. This is critical
because some axles look identical except for the spline count. When the spline count is off
or if they are damaged
the unit will not correctly fit the hub of the vehicle.

CONCLUSION:
CARDONE's remanufactured CVs
not only offer a
high quality
low cost alternative to new
parts
but are the leading choice in the remanufactured
market.
