Product Details

TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft GM-8242 is engineered for direct-fit replacement on 2008-2010 Saturn Vue front right, 2008-2009 Chevrolet Equinox front right, 2008-2009 Pontiac Torrent front right, 2009 Saturn Vue front right with VIN 7 (8th digit), OPT LY7, and 2007-2009 Suzuki XL-7 front right. This axle shaft uses a female inboard joint, a conventional outboard joint, and the specified spline count to match the original driveline layout. TrakMotive identifies this CV axle shaft as part of its CV Axle Shaft line, and the GM-8242 part number is also used in cross-reference listings for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Clicking or popping during turns caused by worn CV joints
• Vibration from a damaged or out-of-balance axle shaft
• Grease leakage from a torn or deteriorated boot
• Axle noise from excessive joint wear
• Driveline issues after axle shaft failure or corrosion

Installation Notes

Verify front right fitment by year, make, model, and any listed engine or VIN notes before installation. Confirm axle nut thread size, hex size, spline count, and compressed length against the original part. Because this axle does not include an ABS tone ring, use it only where the vehicle application does not require one. Professional installation and proper torque procedures are recommended for CV axle replacement on Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent, Saturn Vue, and Suzuki XL-7 applications.
