TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft Product Line Details

The TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft product line focuses on delivering precise driveline components tailored for European vehicles. This line emphasizes compatibility with specific vehicle models and incorporates features such as ABS tone rings and durable neoprene boots to maintain performance and safety.

Technical Description and Features

The AD-8004 CV axle shaft is a new, not remanufactured, component designed to replace worn or damaged axles in compatible Audi and Volkswagen models. It features a 45-tooth ABS ring with a window design that works with the vehicle’s anti-lock braking system. The neoprene boot material provides resistance to environmental factors, helping to protect the joint from contaminants and extend service life. The inboard joint uses a flange connection style with a single bolt hole, while the outboard joint employs an Audi style spline bolt with 38 splines, ensuring a secure fit. Axle bolts are sized with a 27 mm hex, 97 mm length, and M16*1.5 thread, though the axle nut is not included.

Common Applications and Problem Resolution

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the TrakMotive AD-8004 CV axle shaft, ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported. Verify compatibility with the specific Audi or Volkswagen model before beginning. Use the correct torque specifications for the axle bolts (27 mm hex, M16*1.5 thread) and confirm the flange and spline connections are properly seated. Since the axle nut is not included, source the appropriate nut separately. Inspect the neoprene boot for any damage during installation to maintain joint protection.
