Detailed Description

TrakMotive BM-8173 is a replacement CV axle shaft engineered for the rear right side of the BMW X1 from 2012 through 2015. The axle uses a bolt-on inboard joint, a spline-style outboard shaft connection, and a conventional outboard joint layout to match the listed driveline configuration. The 26.81-inch compressed length and 30 outboard splines are important fitment details for correct axle selection. Part number BM-8173 is also identified by cross-reference 33207605486 for the same application.

TrakMotive’s CV axle shaft line focuses on replacement driveline components built for service work, with this axle supplied as a new unit rather than remanufactured. The included axle nut uses a hex head, stake locking type, and M27 x 1.5 thread specification. BM-8173 is listed for BMW X1 rear right fitment and should be matched to the vehicle’s non-ABS application unless otherwise noted.

Common Issues This Part Addresses

• Clicking or popping from a worn CV joint
• Vibration during acceleration from a damaged axle shaft
• Torn boot conditions that expose the joint to contamination
• Excessive driveline play from worn axle components
• Loss of smooth power transfer through the axle assembly

Installation Notes

Verify rear right fitment, spline count, compressed length, and axle nut thread size before installation. Confirm whether the vehicle uses a non-ABS application, since this axle does not include an ABS tone ring. Match the inboard bolt-on connection and outboard spline configuration to the original part before assembly.

TrakMotive lists this CV axle shaft as a new replacement part and states a limited lifetime warranty. The manufacturer also identifies ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certification for its production standards.
