Product Details

TrakMotive FD-8243 is a CV axle shaft for front left service on the 2013-2017 Ford Taurus and 2013-2016 Lincoln MKT. The axle uses a male inboard shaft connection and a conventional outboard connection, with 34 inboard splines, 33 outboard splines, and a compressed length of 25.83 inches to match the listed fitment. TrakMotive identifies this part as a new component, and the brand line focuses on CV axle shaft applications for driveline repair.

This part cross-references OE-style numbers such as DG1Z3B437C and 71370 for the same application. The FD-8243 part number is also used for catalog lookup when sourcing a replacement CV axle shaft for Ford Taurus or Lincoln MKT front left service.

Common Repair Uses

• Restores driveline function when the original axle shaft is worn or damaged
• Addresses clicking or popping noises during turns caused by CV joint wear
• Helps correct vibration from a failing front axle assembly
• Replaces a torn boot or contaminated CV joint assembly
• Supports repair after axle shaft leakage, play, or spline wear

Installation Notes

Verify front left fitment by year, make, model, spline count, and axle length before installation. The supplied axle nut uses a hex head with M27 x 2 thread size and a self-lock design. ABS tone ring is not included, so confirm the vehicle’s ABS configuration against the listed application before ordering. For best results, inspect related seals, hub components, and suspension wear points during axle replacement.
