Product Details

TrakMotive GM-8097 is a CV axle shaft engineered for front right driveline replacement on 1996-2007 GM platform vehicles listed in the fitment data. It measures 24.41 inches compressed length and uses a male inboard shaft connection with a conventional outboard shaft connection, along with a neoprene boot for joint coverage. The included axle nut uses an M27*2 thread, a self-locking design, and a 32.8 mm hex size. This part cross-references Cardone New 66-1256 for the same application.

Common Replacement Reasons

• Clicking or popping during turns from worn CV joints
• Vibration under acceleration from a damaged axle shaft
• Torn or leaking CV boot causing grease loss
• Excessive drivetrain play or noise at the front right wheel
• Failed axle nut or spline wear during axle service

Installation Notes

Verify front right fitment, spline count, compressed length, and axle nut thread size before installation. ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted, and this axle does not include an ABS tone ring. Confirm hub, transmission, and suspension configuration against the vehicle application before final assembly.
