Detailed Description

TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft FD-8044 is engineered for front right replacement on 1983-1990 Ford Escort, 1984-1990 Ford Tempo, 1983-1987 Mercury Lynx, 1984-1990 Mercury Topaz, and 1983 Mercury LN7 applications listed below. This axle shaft uses a male inboard joint, a conventional outboard joint, and the specified spline counts to match the original driveline configuration. The included axle nut features a hex head, M20 x 1.5 thread, and stake-style locking design for proper hub retention.

As part of TrakMotive’s CV Axle Shaft line, FD-8044 is a new replacement component backed by ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certified manufacturing practices. The part number FD-8044 is also referenced in aftermarket interchange listings for the same vehicle coverage, making it a practical choice when replacing a worn or noisy front right axle on Ford Escort, Ford Tempo, or Mercury Topaz platforms.

What It Helps Fix

• Clicking or popping from a worn CV joint during turns
• Vibration or shudder from a damaged axle shaft
• Grease leakage from a torn or deteriorated boot
• Excessive play from worn splines or joint wear
• Front right driveline noise on listed Ford and Mercury vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front right fitment by year, model, and joint configuration before installation. Confirm the axle nut thread size, hex size, and locking style match the vehicle’s hub hardware. Inspect the seals, hub bearing, and surrounding suspension components during replacement, and follow the vehicle service procedure for axle nut torque and staking.
