Product Details
The TrakMotive GM-8018 CV axle shaft is built for driveline service where the original axle has worn joints, damaged splines, torn boots, or ABS-related concerns. This axle uses a male inboard connection, a conventional outboard joint, and the listed 42-tooth ABS ring to match the required front left setup on 1998-2001 Chevrolet Metro, 1995-2001 Suzuki Swift, and 1995-1997 Geo Metro applications. TrakMotive identifies this axle as part of its CV Axle Shaft line, and the GM-8018 reference is useful when cross-checking replacement needs for Metro and Swift front axle service.
This part cross-references Cardone New 66-1314 and Four Seasons 73501 for the same application.
Common Repair Uses
- Restores drive transfer when the original axle shaft is worn or damaged
- Addresses clicking or popping from a failing CV joint
- Replaces a torn boot that has allowed grease loss and contamination
- Helps correct vibration caused by axle wear or imbalance
- Supports ABS function when the original tone ring is damaged or missing

Confirm axle nut thread size, hex size, and compressed length against the removed part to ensure proper fit. Inspect hub, seals, and related suspension components during service, and torque fasteners to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications.
