Product Details

TrakMotive FD-8013 is a CV axle shaft from the TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft line, built for front left driveline replacement on the Ford Contour, Mercury Mystique, and Mercury Cougar. The axle uses a male inboard connection, a conventional outboard joint, and a neoprene boot for service in the front suspension and driveline assembly. It also includes an ABS tone ring with a 44-tooth window pattern, along with the axle nut specified for the application. This part cross-references Cardone New 66-2063 and Anchor 9305 for the same application.

What This Axle Shaft Helps Address

• Clicking or popping during turns caused by worn CV joints
• Vibration from a damaged or unbalanced front axle shaft
• Grease leakage from a torn or deteriorated CV boot
• ABS-related concerns when the tone ring is worn or missing
• Driveline noise from excessive axle wear in front left service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front left fitment by year, make, model, and ABS configuration before installation. Confirm spline count, axle nut thread size, and overall length against the original shaft to ensure proper fit on the Ford Contour, Mercury Mystique, or Mercury Cougar. Inspect the hub, seals, and surrounding suspension components during replacement, and torque the axle nut to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification.
