Detailed Description

TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft FD-8148 is engineered for front left driveline service on the Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX. This axle uses a male inboard shaft connection, a conventional outboard shaft connection, and the specified spline counts to match the original driveline layout on covered vehicles. The included ABS tone ring and toothed ring design support ABS-equipped applications, while the neoprene boot material helps protect the joint assembly during normal operation. TrakMotive FD-8148 is a direct-fit replacement for 2007-2014 Ford Edge front left and 2007-2015 Lincoln MKX front left applications.

This part cross-references Cardone New 66-2188 and Cardone Reman 60-2188 for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Restores driveline function after a worn or noisy CV joint
• Addresses clicking or popping during turns
• Helps correct vibration caused by axle wear or imbalance
• Replaces a damaged boot or contaminated joint assembly
• Supports ABS operation when the original tone ring is part of the axle design

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front left fitment by year, model, and ABS configuration before installation. Confirm axle nut thread size, hex size, and overall compressed length against the original part to ensure proper fit. Inspect hub, seals, and mating components for wear before installing the new axle shaft. Torque fasteners to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications.
