Product Details

TrakMotive AD-8184 is a rear CV axle shaft engineered for Audi A4 and Audi A5 fitments that call for an OEM-style axle to preserve factory ride characteristics. The bolt-on inboard joint design, spline-style outboard connection, and neoprene boot construction support a direct replacement approach for the listed rear applications. This part number, AD-8184, is also referenced by TrakMotive under the same application listing.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or popping from a worn rear CV joint
• Vibration during acceleration from axle wear
• Grease leakage from damaged CV boots
• Excessive driveline play in the rear axle assembly
• Loss of smooth factory-style rear axle operation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by year, model, and drivetrain configuration before installation. Confirm spline count, bolt pattern, and compressed length against the removed axle to ensure proper match. The axle nut is not included, and no ABS tone ring is included, so reuse or source related components as required by the vehicle application. AD-8184 is listed for non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted by the vehicle fitment.
