Product Details

TrakMotive AD-8147 is a CV axle shaft for driveline and axle repair where the original front left axle has worn splines, damaged boots, or joint noise. This axle shaft uses a bolt-on inboard connection and an Audi-style spline bolt outboard design, with dimensions and spline count matched for the listed applications. It is a direct-fit service part for 2012-2018 Volkswagen Passat front left, 2011-2015 Audi TT Quattro front left, 2011-2014 Audi TT front left, and 2009-2010 Audi TTS Quattro front left. This part cross-references OE-style numbers such as 3Q0407271 and 8J0407271AA for the same application. The TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft line focuses on replacement driveline components built for vehicle-specific fitment, and AD-8147 follows that approach for Audi TT, Audi TTS Quattro, and Volkswagen Passat service needs.

Common Issues This Axle Can Address

• Clicking or popping from a worn outer CV joint
• Vibration during acceleration from a damaged axle shaft
• Torn or leaking CV boot service on the front left side
• Noise from spline or joint wear in the driveline
• Loss of smooth power transfer to the front wheel

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front left fitment, spline count, and axle length before installation. Confirm whether the vehicle uses the listed Audi-style spline bolt outboard connection and 6-bolt inboard joint pattern. The ABS tone ring is not included, and the axle nut is not included, so reuse or source those items as needed based on the vehicle setup. ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted by the vehicle listing.

TrakMotive states that this axle shaft is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. The manufacturer also notes ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certified company processes for this product line.
