TrakMotive FD-8022 CV Axle Shaft

TrakMotive FD-8022 is a new front left CV axle shaft for select Ford, Kia, Mercury, and Mazda applications. It is built for vehicles that need a direct replacement axle with the correct spline count, compressed length, and ABS tone ring configuration.

This CV axle shaft is a fitment-based replacement for 1990-2003 Ford Escort, 1994-1999 Mercury Tracer, 1990-1994 Mazda 323, 1990-1994 Mazda Protege, 1995-2000 Kia Sephia, and 2000 Kia Spectra front left applications. The FD-8022 part number is also useful when cross-referencing OE-style driveline repairs for these vehicles.

Detailed Description

TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft FD-8022 is engineered as a direct-fit driveline replacement for front left applications across several compact Ford, Kia, Mercury, and Mazda platforms. It is built with a male inboard connection, conventional outboard joint design, and the specified spline counts to match the original axle interface. The included toothed ABS ring uses 44 teeth, and the tone ring is included for vehicles that require ABS signal transfer at the axle.

For shoppers searching for a Ford Escort front left CV axle shaft, Mercury Tracer front left axle, or Mazda 323 and Mazda Protege front left driveline replacement, FD-8022 provides the fitment and dimensional details needed for a proper repair. It also applies to select Kia Sephia and Kia Spectra front left vehicles, including non-ABS configurations where noted. This part cross-references Cardone New 66-2105 for the same application.

What It Helps Repair

• Clicking or popping during turns caused by worn CV joints
• Vibration from a damaged or out-of-balance axle shaft
• Grease leakage from a deteriorated CV boot
• ABS warning concerns related to a worn or incorrect tone ring setup
• Driveline noise from spline wear or joint play

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front left fitment by year, make, model, and ABS configuration before installation. Confirm axle nut thread size, hex size, and locking style against the original hardware, and inspect hub, bearing, and transmission seals during replacement. Because ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted, match the vehicle’s original sensor and ring setup before final assembly.
