Product Details

TrakMotive GM-8225 is part of the CV Axle Shaft line and is built for rear right driveline replacement where the original axle uses the same spline count, shaft connection style, and compressed length. The axle nut is included, with a hex head design and 35.5 mm hex size. TrakMotive identifies this axle as suitable for non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted, and the design is supported by ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certified manufacturing practices.

This part cross-references Cardone New 66-1455 for the same application. For buyers searching by vehicle, GM-8225 is a direct-fit reference for Cadillac SRX, Cadillac STS, Pontiac Solstice, and Saturn Sky rear right axle replacement needs.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

Installation Notes
