Detailed Description

TrakMotive FD-8096 is a front left CV axle shaft engineered for select 2001-2008 Ford Escape, 2001-2008 Mazda Tribute, and 2005-2008 Mercury Mariner applications. This axle shaft uses a male inboard joint, a conventional outboard joint, and an integrated ABS tone ring to support vehicles equipped with ABS where specified. The included axle nut and the listed spline counts help match the original driveline configuration for the correct application.

TrakMotive’s CV Axle Shaft line focuses on direct-fit driveline replacement parts for passenger vehicles and light-duty applications. FD-8096 is a fitment-specific replacement for front left service on the listed Escape, Tribute, and Mariner models, including ABS and non-ABS configurations noted in the fitment data.

This part cross-references Cardone New 66-2084 and Dorman - HELP 95620 for the same application.
