Product Details

This TrakMotive CV axle shaft is part of the CV Axle Shaft line and is engineered for rear axle service on Audi A4, Audi A4 Quattro, Audi A5, Audi A5 Quattro, and Audi allroad applications listed below. The AD-8172 is a direct replacement style axle for vehicles that use the specified rear configuration, including rear right and rear left positions where noted. This part cross-references OE number 8K0501203M for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

  • Clicking or popping from a worn rear CV joint
  • Vibration during acceleration from a damaged axle shaft
  • Torn or deteriorated axle boot on the rear driveline
  • Grease leakage from a failed CV joint seal
  • Driveline noise caused by spline or joint wear

Installation Notes and Tips

  • Verify rear position and side before ordering: rear, rear right, or rear left, depending on the vehicle listing.
  • Confirm spline count, compressed length, and joint style against the original axle before installation.
  • Inspect mating hubs, seals, and fasteners for wear before installing the new axle shaft.
  • Because the axle nut is not included, reuse or source the correct hardware separately if required by the vehicle.
  • ABS tone ring is not included; confirm the vehicle’s original ABS configuration before service.

TrakMotive manufactures this axle shaft as a new replacement part and identifies the line under ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems. The AD-8172 also carries a limited lifetime warranty from the manufacturer.
