Product Details

The TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft line focuses on replacement driveline components for vehicles that need accurate fit and dependable geometry. Part number CH-8042 is engineered for the listed Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth fitments, including Dodge Charger, Dodge Rampage, Plymouth Turismo, Plymouth TC3, Chrysler New Yorker, Chrysler Town & Country, Chrysler Aries, and Plymouth Reliant applications. This part cross-references Cardone Reman 60-3018 and 60-3033 for the same application.

Use CH-8042 when replacing a worn or damaged front axle assembly on 1981-1987 Dodge Charger, 1984-1987 Plymouth Turismo, 1984 Dodge Rampage, 1983 Chrysler New Yorker, 1983 Chrysler Town & Country, 1983 Dodge Aries, 1983 Plymouth Reliant, and 1981-1982 Plymouth TC3 applications. It also fits 1983-1987 Dodge Charger and 1983-1987 Dodge Rampage front left applications, with front right coverage on select 1985-1987 Dodge Charger models.

What It Helps Fix

  • Clicking or popping from a worn CV joint
  • Vibration during acceleration from axle wear
  • Grease leakage from a damaged boot
  • Noise caused by spline or joint wear
  • Loss of driveline smoothness on front-wheel-drive vehicles

Installation Notes

Verify spline count, axle diameter, and position before installation. Some fitments note comparison to the original axle, and 1983 applications are listed from 5/21/83. The axle nut is included and uses a hex head with cotter pin locking. ABS tone ring is not included, and ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted by the vehicle listing.
