Detailed Description

TrakMotive GM-8005 is a CV axle shaft for front-wheel driveline service on 1990-1996 Chevrolet Astro and 1990-1996 GMC Safari models. This axle uses a flange inboard connection, a conventional outboard joint, and a 33-spline outboard design to match the listed applications. The axle nut is included and uses a hex head with self-locking M24 x 2 threads, while the neoprene boot helps protect the joint area during operation. TrakMotive GM-8005 is a direct-fit replacement for front left and front right positions on these vans, making it a practical choice when replacing a worn or noisy axle assembly.

The TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft line focuses on replacement driveline components built for service fitment and OE-style application coverage. For buyers searching for a Chevrolet Astro front axle shaft or GMC Safari CV axle shaft, GM-8005 provides the listed dimensions and connection styles needed for the specified vehicles.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or popping from a worn CV joint during turns

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify axle length, spline count, and nut thread size before installation. Confirm whether the vehicle uses the front left or front right position listed in the fitment data, and inspect the hub, seals, and mating surfaces for wear before installing the new axle. Torque the included axle nut to the vehicle specification and follow the service procedure for the Astro or Safari application.
