Product Details

TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft FD-8353 is engineered as a direct replacement axle for rear suspension driveline service on the Ford Five Hundred, Ford Freestyle, and Mercury Montego. The axle is built new, not remanufactured, and uses spline connections at both ends for proper engagement.
