TrakMotive FD-8023XTT CV Axle Shaft - Front Left or Front Right

Extended Travel CV Axle for Ford and Lincoln

TrakMotive FD-8023XTT is an extended travel CV axle shaft built for front suspension applications that need more articulation than a standard OE-style axle. It is designed for lifted or stock suspensions on or off road, with fitment for Ford F-150, Ford F-150 Heritage, Ford F-250, Ford Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator front left or front right positions.

The Extended Travel CV Axle Shaft line adds extra operating range through a sliding center bar, giving up to 44 mm more travel than an OEM CV shaft. The CV joints also provide up to 47 degrees of articulation, compared with a typical 23-degree OE joint angle, which is useful when suspension geometry changes from lift kits or aggressive wheel travel.

Detailed Description

FD-8023XTT is a new CV axle shaft from TrakMotive’s Extended Travel CV Axle Shaft line, engineered for front driveline service where additional plunge and joint angle are needed. The inboard side uses a flange-style, bolt-on connection with six bolt holes, while the outboard side uses a conventional joint and spline connection with 33 outboard splines. The axle is built with a neoprene boot and an overall compressed length of 495 mm (19.49 in.).

Compatible With 1997-2003 Ford F-150 front left and front right, 1997-2004 Ford F-250 front left and front right, 1997-2002 Ford Expedition front left and front right, 1998-2002 Lincoln Navigator front left and front right, and 2004 Ford F-150 Heritage front left and front right. This part cross-references Cardone New 66-2112 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Front CV axle binding after suspension lift changes
• Excessive CV joint angle in high-articulation front suspension setups
• Axle travel limitations on stock or lifted Ford truck and SUV applications
• Noise or vibration related to worn or mismatched front axle geometry
• Fitment issues when replacing a damaged front left or front right CV axle

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front left or front right position before ordering, since this axle is listed for both sides depending on vehicle application. Confirm spline count, axle nut thread size, and inboard flange connection against the original part before installation. For vehicles with lift kits or altered suspension geometry, inspect related components such as hubs, bearings, and control arms to ensure the new axle operates within the intended angle range.

Always replace in pairs when the opposite side shows similar wear or when suspension modifications affect both front axles.
