Detailed Description

TrakMotive FD-8368 is a front left CV axle shaft for the 2016, 2017, and 2018 Ford Focus. It is engineered as a new replacement axle with the correct spline counts, bolt interface, and compressed length for the listed application. The axle uses a magnetic ABS ring setup with 44 teeth and includes the tone ring, making it suitable for vehicles that require ABS signal compatibility as specified.

Part number FD-8368 cross-references G1FZ4K138A for the same application. The Ford Focus fitment and OE-style connection details make this a direct replacement option for front left driveline service on the listed model years.

Common Repair Uses

• Replacing a worn or noisy front left CV axle on a Ford Focus
• Restoring driveline operation after torn boot or joint wear
• Addressing vibration, clicking, or binding from a damaged axle assembly
• Replacing an axle with incorrect spline count or length
• Repairing ABS-related axle signal issues where the tone ring is required

Installation Notes

Verify spline count, axle length, bolt size, and ABS ring configuration before installation. FD-8368 uses a 12.8 mm axle bolt hex size, M10 x 1.5 axle bolt thread, and a 79.5 mm axle bolt length. The axle nut is not included, so confirm all required vehicle-specific fasteners and torque specifications before service.

Because this axle is listed for front left Ford Focus applications, confirm the vehicle’s drivetrain and ABS setup against the original part before installation. Proper inspection of the hub, seals, and mating components helps ensure a clean axle replacement.
