TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft Product Line Details

The TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft product line focuses on delivering direct-fit replacement components for driveline and axle systems. This line emphasizes precise fitment and quality materials, such as neoprene boots and self-locking axle nuts, to ensure long-lasting performance. The AD-8048 model exemplifies these standards with its bolt-on inboard joint and conventional outboard joint connection styles, designed specifically for certain Audi and Volkswagen models.

Technical Specifications and Features

The AD-8048 CV axle shaft features a neoprene boot that resists wear and environmental damage. The axle nut included is a self-locking hex type with a 30 mm hex size and a length of 34.6 mm (1 1/3 inches), ensuring secure installation. The inboard joint uses a bolt-on connection style with six M8*1.25 threaded bolts and Allen head bolts sized at 6 mm (1/4 inch) in length 58 mm (2 2/7 inches). The outboard joint is conventional with 22 splines, providing reliable torque transfer. The overall compressed length of 25.47 inches (647 mm) fits the specified vehicle applications precisely.

Applications and Problem Solving

  • Replacement for worn or damaged CV axle shafts in Audi 4000, Coupe, Quantum, and Quattro models
  • Addresses issues such as axle vibration and clicking noises during turns
  • Solves grease leakage problems caused by torn or degraded boots
  • Restores driveline stability and smooth power delivery
  • Prevents axle nut loosening with self-locking design

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with your specific Audi or Volkswagen model before installation. The bolt-on inboard joint requires proper torque on all six bolts to maintain secure connection. Use the included self-locking axle nut and verify thread engagement (M20*1.5) during assembly. Inspect the neoprene boot for any damage before installation to prevent premature failure. Professional installation is recommended to maintain driveline integrity.

It includes a self-locking axle nut and durable neoprene boot for extended service life. While specific warranty details are not provided, TrakMotive products typically adhere to industry quality controls to ensure reliability and performance in compatible Audi and Volkswagen vehicles.
