Detailed Description

TrakMotive FD-8172 is a CV axle shaft for front left driveline service on 2007-2017 Ford Expedition, 2007-2017 Lincoln Navigator, 2009-2014 Ford F-150 excluding Raptor, and 2010-2014 Lincoln Mark LT.

Common Repair Applications

• Front left axle noise or vibration during acceleration
• Clicking or popping from a worn CV joint
• Torn boot or grease loss at the axle assembly
• Driveline play caused by spline or joint wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front left fitment by year, make, model, and drivetrain configuration before installation. Confirm spline count, compressed length, and axle nut thread size against the original part. This axle does not include an ABS tone ring, so compare the vehicle’s original ABS setup before ordering. Use proper torque procedures and inspect related seals, hubs, and suspension components during replacement.
