Product Details

This TrakMotive CV axle shaft is engineered for Chevrolet HHR front left applications from 2006 through 2011. The GM-8245 uses a male inboard shaft connection and a conventional outboard joint, with a compressed length of 23.58 inches to match the specified driveline geometry. The included axle nut features a hex head, M20 x 1.5 thread, and self-locking design for service replacement. TrakMotive identifies this axle as a new part, and the brand notes that ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted. This part cross-references Cardone New 66-1456 for the same application.

Common Replacement Reasons

• Clicking or popping during turns from worn CV joints
• Vibration under acceleration caused by axle wear
• Torn or deteriorated CV boot allowing grease loss
• Axle shaft play or noise from damaged splines or joints
• Front left driveline failure on a Chevrolet HHR

Installation Notes

Verify front left fitment by year, make, model, spline count, and axle length before installation. Confirm the axle nut thread size and hex size match the vehicle specification, and inspect the hub, seals, and mating components for wear before assembly. Because this axle does not include an ABS tone ring, confirm the vehicle’s ABS configuration before ordering. Fits 2006-2011 Chevrolet HHR, front left.

TrakMotive states that this CV axle shaft is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. The brand also notes ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certification, supporting controlled manufacturing and quality management for driveline components.
