Detailed Description

TrakMotive GM-8116 is a front left CV axle shaft for the 1985-1988 Chevrolet Sprint. It is a new replacement axle built to restore driveline function where the original shaft has worn splines, damaged joints, or boot failure. The axle uses 22 inboard splines and 23 outboard splines, with a 26.22-inch compressed length to match the listed application. The included axle nut uses an M18 x 1.5 thread, 27 mm hex, and cotter pin locking style. This part cross-references Dayco 70679 for the same application.

Common Repair Symptoms

• Clicking or popping during turns from a worn CV joint
• Vibration under acceleration from axle wear or imbalance
• Grease leakage from a torn or deteriorated boot
• Clunking or driveline noise from damaged axle splines
• Loss of smooth power delivery at the front left wheel

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is a 1985-1988 Chevrolet Sprint with front left axle application before ordering. Confirm spline count, axle length, and axle nut thread size against the removed part. Inspect the hub, seals, and surrounding suspension components during installation so the replacement axle is not installed against worn mating parts. Because this axle does not include an ABS tone ring, it is appropriate for non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted by the vehicle configuration.
