The 2552-1003 CV Joint Kit is engineered for the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V, providing essential functionality for rear applications. This kit features a plunge-style Rzeppa CV joint, which allows for constant velocity power transfer at variable angles. The outer diameter measures 99.55 mm, and it includes 32 splines with a diameter of 26.92 mm, ensuring a robust connection to the driveline.
One critical aspect of the 2552-1003 is its bolt circle diameter of 86 mm, which incorporates six bolt holes, each with a diameter of 10.4 mm. This configuration is designed to handle the torque loads typical of high-performance vehicles like the CTS-V while maintaining a lightweight profile. The outer race width is 27.8 mm, and the inner race width is 27.07 mm, allowing for effective axial movement and accommodating the necessary plunging action.
When installing the 2552-1003, it’s essential to pack the joint with the specified grease amount and use a new boot and clamps to prevent grease contamination. Regular inspection for symptoms like clicking during turns or torn boots can help identify potential failures early.
