Detailed Description

TrakMotive FD-8065 is a replacement CV axle shaft for 1997-2002 Ford Escort front right and 1997-1999 Mercury Tracer front right applications. It is built as a new axle shaft with a male inboard joint, conventional outboard joint, and a compressed overall length of 914 mm (35.98 in) to match the listed vehicle fitment. The included ABS tone ring and 44-tooth toothed ABS ring support vehicles equipped with ABS-related wheel speed sensing requirements.

TrakMotive’s CV Axle Shaft line focuses on direct-fit driveline replacement parts for passenger vehicles. FD-8065 is a practical choice when servicing a worn or noisy front axle on a Ford Escort or Mercury Tracer, and this part cross-references Cardone New 66-2134 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Clicking or popping during turns from a worn CV joint
• Vibration or shudder from a damaged axle shaft
• Torn boot conditions that can lead to grease loss and contamination
• ABS warning concerns related to a damaged tone ring or sensor input path
• Driveline noise caused by spline wear or joint deterioration

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front right fitment, spline count, compressed length, and axle nut thread size before installation. Confirm whether the vehicle uses ABS and compare the existing tone ring configuration to the replacement axle. Always inspect related seals, hub components, and suspension hardware during axle service, and torque the axle nut to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification.
