TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft Product Line Details

The TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft product line focuses on delivering new, direct-fit CV components designed to restore driveline integrity. This line emphasizes quality materials such as neoprene boots and includes all necessary hardware like self-locking axle nuts and inboard bolts. The AD-8049 model exemplifies this approach by providing a bolt-on inboard joint and conventional outboard joint connection styles, ensuring compatibility with specific Audi and Volkswagen applications.

Technical Specifications and Features

The AD-8049 CV axle shaft features a hex head axle nut measuring 1 1/6 inches (30 mm) across flats, with a height of 14 mm (5/9 inch) and a length of 34.6 mm (1 1/3 inch). The axle nut is self-locking to maintain secure torque under driving conditions. The inboard joint uses a bolt-on style with six M8*1.25 threaded Allen bolts, each 56.5 mm (2 2/9 inches) long, providing a robust connection to the transmission or differential. The outboard joint is conventional with 22 splines, matching OEM specifications for smooth power transfer. The neoprene boot protects the joint from dirt and moisture, extending service life.

Applications and Problem Solving

  • Replacement for worn or damaged CV axle shafts on Audi 4000 and Volkswagen Quantum models
  • Addresses issues such as axle vibration, clicking noises during turns, and grease leaks from torn boots
  • Restores driveline stability and smooth power delivery to the wheels
  • Prevents further damage to CV joints caused by contamination or wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation requires proper torque of the self-locking hex axle nut (M20*1.5 thread) and secure fastening of the six inboard Allen bolts. Ensure the neoprene boot is seated correctly to prevent contamination. This CV axle shaft is designed for bolt-on installation, matching OEM connection styles for straightforward replacement. It is recommended to inspect related suspension and driveline components during installation for overall system integrity.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

The TrakMotive AD-8049 CV Axle Shaft is a new, not remanufactured, component manufactured to meet or exceed OEM standards.
