Detailed Description

TrakMotive AD-8168 is an AAR CV axle shaft engineered for Audi front-wheel drive and quattro-style front axle service where the updated design is required. It uses a flange inboard connection, an Audi-style spline bolt outboard joint, and a neoprene boot to support consistent CV joint operation. This part number AD-8168 cross-references OE-style applications for the same fitment family and is listed for 2013-2017 Audi A5 Quattro, 2013-2016 Audi A4 Quattro, 2013-2016 Audi allroad, and earlier Audi A4 and S5 configurations with the specified suspension notes.

Compatible With 2008-2017 Audi A4, A5 Quattro, S5, and allroad front axle service where the fitment notes match the vehicle configuration. Search terms such as Audi A4 Quattro front right CV axle shaft, Audi A5 Quattro front left axle replacement, and Audi allroad updated design CV axle are directly aligned with this application.

What This CV Axle Helps Address

  • Clicking or popping during turns caused by worn CV joints
  • Vibration under acceleration from a damaged axle shaft
  • Torn or deteriorated axle boot conditions
  • Front driveline noise from excessive CV joint wear
  • Loss of smooth power transfer to the front wheels

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s suspension option, drivetrain configuration, and axle connection style before ordering. This axle uses a 19 mm axle bolt hex size, M16x1.5 axle bolt thread, 6 inboard bolt holes, and a 42-spline outboard connection. ABS tone ring is not included, and ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted by the vehicle listing.
