Product Details

TrakMotive GM-8079 is a CV axle shaft built for front-right driveline service on select compact GM and Pontiac platforms. It uses a male inboard joint, conventional outboard joint, and a neoprene boot to support consistent articulation in the axle assembly. The included axle nut features a hex head, M18 x 1.5 thread, and 30 mm hex size for application-specific service work. This axle is a direct replacement for vehicles that require the listed spline counts and compressed length, including 1989-1994 Geo Metro, 1992 Chevrolet Metro, 1989-1991 Chevrolet Sprint, and 1989-1991 Pontiac Firefly front right applications. This part cross-references Cardone Reman 60-1104 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or popping during turns from a worn CV joint
• Vibration under acceleration caused by axle wear
• Torn or leaking axle boot conditions
• Excessive driveline play at the front right wheel
• Noise from a damaged or fatigued axle shaft assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify front-right fitment by year, make, model, and transmission configuration before installation.
• Confirm spline counts, axle length, and axle nut thread size against the original part.
• Inspect seals, hub components, and suspension hardware during axle replacement.
• Torque the axle nut to the vehicle manufacturer specification after installation.
• Because ABS tone ring is not included, confirm the vehicle does not require one for the application.
