Product Details

TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft GM-8172 is built for the rear right position on Cadillac CTS models from 2003 through 2007. This axle shaft uses a male inboard shaft connection and a conventional outboard shaft connection, with a compressed length of 33.15 inches to match the specified application. The axle nut is included, and the assembly is configured without an ABS tone ring. TrakMotive’s CV axle shaft line focuses on replacement driveline components for service work where correct spline count, joint style, and length are critical. This part number, GM-8172, is also referenced in interchange listings for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Restoring rear axle function after CV joint wear or boot failure
• Addressing clicking, vibration, or driveline noise from a worn axle shaft
• Replacing a damaged rear right axle on a Cadillac CTS
• Correcting spline, length, or joint-style mismatch during axle replacement
• Servicing a vehicle that requires a new axle shaft with included axle nut

Installation Notes

Verify rear right fitment, spline count, and compressed length before installation. Confirm the axle nut thread size, hex size, and locking style match the vehicle’s hub and fastener requirements. Inspect related seals, hubs, and suspension components during replacement to help ensure proper axle operation. Because this axle does not include an ABS tone ring, confirm the vehicle’s brake and wheel-speed sensor setup before ordering.
