Detailed Product Overview

TrakMotive CH-8226 is a driveline and axle component engineered for 2008-2010 Chrysler Town & Country, front left, and 2008-2010 Dodge Grand Caravan, front left. The axle shaft is configured with a male inboard connection and a conventional outboard joint, along with 25 inboard splines and 32 outboard splines for the listed applications. If you are replacing a worn front axle on a Chrysler Town & Country or Dodge Grand Caravan, CH-8226 provides the correct fitment profile for these vehicles.

TrakMotive identifies this CV axle shaft as part of its CV Axle Shaft line, with manufacturing aligned to ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certified processes. The manufacturer also notes that ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted, which is relevant when matching the axle to the vehicle’s original configuration.

This part cross-references Cardone New 66-3551 and Cardone Reman 60-3551 for the same application.

Common Replacement Reasons

• Clicking or popping during turns from a worn CV joint
• Vibration under acceleration from axle shaft wear
• Grease leakage from a damaged boot
• Noise or play from a failing front axle assembly
• Restoring proper driveline operation on the front left side

Installation Notes

Verify front left fitment before installation and confirm spline count, axle nut thread size, and overall length against the original part. The included axle nut uses an M22 x 1.5 thread and a self-locking design. Because this axle does not include an ABS tone ring, confirm whether the vehicle requires one before ordering.

Quality Assurance

TrakMotive backs this CV axle shaft with a limited lifetime warranty. The brand also states ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certification for its manufacturing system.
