Detailed Description
This TrakMotive CV axle shaft, part number AD-8046, is specified for front left driveline service on 1982-1988 Audi 4000 and 4000 Quattro, 1983-1987 Audi Coupe, and 1983-1988 Volkswagen Quantum applications listed in the fitment data. The axle uses a bolt-on inboard shaft connection with six bolt holes and a conventional outboard shaft connection, making it a direct replacement for the original front axle assembly on the confirmed vehicles.
TrakMotive positions the CV axle shaft line as a new replacement solution backed by ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certified manufacturing practices. AD-8046 also includes the axle nut specified for the application, and the design notes indicate that ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted. For buyers searching for an Audi 4000 Quattro front left CV axle shaft or a Volkswagen Quantum front left CV axle shaft, AD-8046 provides the listed dimensions and joint configuration needed for a proper match.
This part cross-references Cardone Reman 60-7022 and 60-7033 for the same application.
Common Replacement Reasons
- Clicking or popping during turns from worn CV joints
- Vibration or shudder during acceleration
- Grease leakage from a damaged axle boot
- Excessive driveline play or noise from a worn axle shaft
- Front left axle failure on Audi 4000, Audi Coupe, or Volkswagen Quantum applications
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify front left placement, spline count, and compressed length before installation. Confirm the inboard bolt pattern and axle nut thread size match the vehicle’s original hardware requirements. Because fitment varies by model year and configuration, compare the vehicle build date and notes such as the 1982 Audi 4000 from 11/82 and the Volkswagen Quantum 100 mm diameter inboard joint application before ordering.
Quality Assurance
TrakMotive lists AD-8046 as a new CV axle shaft manufactured under ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certified processes. The product is covered by a limited lifetime warranty.
