Detailed Description

TrakMotive AD-8195 is a CV axle shaft for rear driveline service on select Audi S5, Audi S4, and Audi RS5 models. This part number cross-references 8K0501203N and NCV23031 for the same application. The axle uses a bolt-on inboard connection, an Audi-style spline bolt outboard joint, and premium-grade materials to match the fitment requirements of the listed vehicles. TrakMotive identifies this CV axle shaft as suitable for non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted, and the design does not include an ABS tone ring.

The TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft line focuses on replacement driveline components for vehicles that need accurate spline count, joint style, and compressed/extended length matching. AD-8195 is listed for rear use on the Audi S5 and Audi S4, and rear left use on the Audi RS5, all without torque vectoring differential.

Common Repair Uses

• Restores driveline operation after a worn or noisy rear CV axle
• Addresses clicking, vibration, or binding from damaged CV joints
• Replaces a shaft with torn neoprene boots or grease loss
• Corrects fitment issues caused by incorrect spline count or axle length
• Supports repair of rear axle damage on Audi S5, Audi S4, or Audi RS5 applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear position and torque vectoring differential configuration before ordering. Confirm axle bolt thread size, hex size, and overall length against the original part to ensure proper fit. Because this axle does not include an ABS tone ring, confirm the vehicle’s original setup before installation. For best results, inspect related hub, seal, and mounting surfaces during replacement.
