Product Details
This TrakMotive CV axle shaft is engineered as a direct driveline replacement for front left service on 1994-1997 Ford Aspire, 1991-1994 Mercury Capri, 1986-1989 Mazda 323, and 1987-1989 Mercury Tracer. The FD-8071 uses a male inboard connection, a conventional outboard joint, and matching 24-spline counts at both ends to support proper engagement in the axle assembly. The included ABS tone ring features 44 teeth, making this axle suitable for ABS-equipped applications where specified. TrakMotive FD-8071 is a practical replacement choice when servicing worn or damaged CV axle components on these compact front-wheel-drive vehicles.
Common Issues This Axle Can Address
- Clicking or popping noises during turns from a worn CV joint
- Vibration or shudder during acceleration caused by axle wear
- Torn boot conditions that allow grease loss and contamination
- Excessive driveline play from damaged splines or joint wear
- ABS signal concerns when the original tone ring is damaged
Installation Notes
Verify axle length, spline count, and ABS ring configuration before installation. Confirm the axle nut thread size, locking style, and hex size match the vehicle’s hub and spindle requirements. Because ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted, check the vehicle’s original equipment setup before ordering. Professional installation and a final road test are recommended after replacement.
Quality Assurance
TrakMotive states that this axle shaft is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. The company also notes ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certification, reflecting controlled manufacturing and quality management practices for driveline components.
