TrakMotive AD-8026 CV Axle Shaft

TrakMotive AD-8026 is a new CV axle shaft built for driveline service where precise fit, smooth torque transfer, and ABS-ready hardware matter. This CV axle shaft is engineered with a 96-tooth toothed ABS ring, a neoprene boot, and a bolt-on inboard connection for applications that use this configuration.

The TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft line focuses on replacement parts that match the original driveline layout. AD-8026 includes a self-locking axle nut, a conventional outboard joint, and a compressed length of 27.38 inches for applications that require this exact axle geometry.

Detailed Description

TrakMotive AD-8026 is a replacement CV axle shaft for vehicles that require a 26-spline outboard shaft, a 6-bolt inboard joint, and ABS tone ring integration. The axle uses a hex-head axle nut with a 32 mm hex size and self-locking design, helping match the original service hardware on the intended application. If you are sourcing a replacement axle shaft for a Volkswagen or Audi driveline repair, AD-8026 provides the dimensional and connection details needed for a direct-match search.

This part cross-references Cardone Reman 60-7147 for the same application. Search terms such as TrakMotive AD-8026 CV axle shaft, ABS axle shaft with 96-tooth ring, and bolt-on inboard CV axle replacement help identify the correct part for the vehicle platform.

What It Helps Repair

• Clicking or popping from a worn CV joint during turns
• Vibration caused by a damaged or bent axle shaft
• ABS warning concerns related to a failed tone ring or sensor input
• Grease leakage from a cracked or torn CV boot
• Driveline noise from excessive axle play or joint wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm axle length, spline count, ABS ring style, and inboard bolt pattern before ordering. AD-8026 uses a bolt-on inboard joint with six inboard shaft bolts and an ABS tone ring, so the replacement must match the vehicle’s original axle configuration. For Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen Golf, and Audi A3 searchers, verify the exact year, drivetrain layout, and brake/ABS setup against the vehicle catalog before installation.

Use the correct axle nut torque procedure and inspect the hub, seals, and mounting points during service. Replace any worn hardware or damaged mating components before final assembly to help prevent repeat driveline noise or premature joint wear.

Quality Assurance

TrakMotive manufactures this axle shaft under ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems. The part is backed by a limited lifetime warranty, and ABS axles are stated to fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted by the manufacturer.
