Product Details

TrakMotive GM-8078 is a CV axle shaft for front left driveline replacement on 1989-1994 Geo Metro, 1992 Chevrolet Metro, and 1989-1991 Chevrolet Sprint applications. The axle uses a male inboard shaft connection, a conventional outboard joint, and the specified spline counts to match the listed fitments. TrakMotive identifies this CV axle shaft as a new part and notes that ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted. This part cross-references Cardone Reman 60-1059 and Anchor 8511 for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Clicking or popping during turns from a worn CV joint
• Vibration or shudder during acceleration from axle wear
• Torn or deteriorated axle boot contamination
• Excessive driveline play in the front left axle assembly
• Noise from a damaged or failing axle shaft

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify front left fitment against the vehicle year, make, model, and transmission/application details before installation.
• Confirm axle nut thread size, hex size, and compressed length match the original part.
• Inspect hub, bearing, and seal surfaces before installing the new axle shaft.
• Use proper torque procedures for the axle nut and related fasteners.
