Detailed Description

TrakMotive AD-8004 is a CV axle shaft for front right applications on the Audi A4, Volkswagen Passat, and select Audi 4000 models. It is a new replacement axle with a flange-style inboard joint and Audi-style spline bolt outboard joint, built to match the listed driveline configuration and axle length requirements. The ABS tone ring is included, and the axle uses a 45-tooth window-style ABS ring for vehicles equipped with ABS-related sensing at the axle.

TrakMotive’s CV Axle Shaft line focuses on direct-fit driveline replacement parts for passenger vehicles. AD-8004 follows that product line approach with application-specific dimensions, spline count, and connection styles for the listed Audi and Volkswagen fitments. This part cross-references Cardone New 66-7258 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or popping during turns from a worn outer CV joint
• Vibration under acceleration caused by axle wear or imbalance
• Grease leakage from a damaged CV boot
• Clunking or driveline lash from worn axle joints
• ABS warning concerns related to a damaged or missing tone ring

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front right placement, spline count, axle bolt thread size, and compressed length before installation. Confirm the vehicle’s ABS and non-ABS configuration against the listed ring style and tone ring details, and inspect mating hubs, seals, and fasteners for wear before reassembly. Torque all fasteners to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications.
