TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft Product Line Details

The TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft product line focuses on delivering precise fit and reliable driveline components for various vehicle applications. This line emphasizes new parts built to OEM specifications, such as the AD-8136, which features high-quality neoprene boots and flange-style joints to maintain proper axle function and longevity.

Technical Description and Features

The AD-8136 CV Axle Shaft is engineered with a neoprene boot that resists wear and environmental damage, helping to protect the joint from contaminants. The inboard joint uses a flange connection style with a single bolt hole, ensuring a secure fit to the transmission or differential flange. The outboard joint employs an Audi style spline bolt connection with 38 splines, matching the factory specifications for the Audi A6 Quattro. The axle bolts have a hex size of 17 mm, a length of 85 mm, and a thread size of M16*1.5, which are critical for proper installation and torque settings. This axle shaft is supplied without an ABS tone ring or axle nut, so those components must be sourced separately if required.
