Detailed Description

TrakMotive FD-8204 is a CV axle shaft for 2012-2013 Ford Explorer front right applications and 2014 Ford Explorer front right vehicles built through 01/28/14. This axle shaft is a new unit with a male inboard shaft connection, conventional outboard connection, and a neoprene boot for drivetrain service. The supplied axle nut uses a hex head with M22 x 1.5 thread size, and the axle is configured without an ABS tone ring.

TrakMotive’s CV axle shaft line focuses on direct-fit driveline replacement parts for passenger vehicles and light-duty applications. FD-8204 follows that approach with application-specific spline counts, compressed length, and joint design to match the listed Ford Explorer fitment. This part cross-references Dayco 71812 for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Restores driveline operation after a worn or noisy CV axle
• Addresses clicking or popping during turns caused by joint wear
• Helps correct vibration from a damaged or imbalanced axle shaft
• Replaces a torn boot or grease loss at the CV joint
• Supports front right axle replacement on Ford Explorer models

Installation Notes

Verify front right fitment, spline count, and axle length before installation. Confirm whether the vehicle is equipped for the listed non-ABS axle configuration, and compare the axle nut thread size and hex size to the original part. Inspect related hub, bearing, and suspension components during replacement to help prevent repeat driveline noise.
