TrakMotive FD-8172XTT CV Axle Shaft - Front Left

Extended Travel CV Axle for High Articulation

TrakMotive FD-8172XTT is an extended travel CV axle shaft built for front left applications that need more suspension movement than a standard OE axle can provide. It is designed for lifted or stock suspensions on or off road, with added travel and greater joint articulation for Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator, Ford F-150, and Lincoln Mark LT applications.

Product Details

The TrakMotive Extended Travel CV Axle Shaft line is engineered for driveline setups that need additional plunge and articulation without changing the basic OE-style axle layout. Part number FD-8172XTT uses a sliding center bar to increase suspension travel, while the CV joint design supports a wider operating angle for lifted trucks and SUVs that see uneven terrain, suspension droop, or frequent steering and suspension movement. This part cross-references Cardone Reman 60-2191 for the same application.

Compatible with 2007-2017 Ford Expedition, front left; 2007-2017 Lincoln Navigator, front left; 2009-2014 Ford F-150, front left; and 2010-2014 Lincoln Mark LT, front left. For Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator owners, FD-8172XTT provides an extended travel front left axle solution for stock or lifted suspension setups. It is also a fitment-based option for Ford F-150 and Lincoln Mark LT front left driveline service where added articulation is needed.

What It Helps Address

• CV axle binding at increased suspension droop
• Premature wear from high-articulation front suspension use
• Noise or vibration related to a worn front left axle shaft
• Axle length limitations on lifted or off-road suspension setups
• Driveline stress during steering and suspension travel

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front left fitment by year, make, model, and drivetrain configuration before installation. Confirm spline counts, axle nut thread size, and compressed length against the original axle shaft. Replace in pairs when servicing the front axle assembly to maintain balanced driveline operation. Use the included axle nut and follow factory torque procedures during installation.

Quality Assurance

TrakMotive manufactures this as a new CV axle shaft with OE-style connection points and extended travel geometry for demanding suspension applications. The design focuses on increased articulation and travel capacity for front axle service in Expedition, Navigator, F-150, and Mark LT platforms.
