Product Details

TrakMotive CV axle shaft GM-8248 is engineered for front driveline service on Cadillac DTS and Cadillac DeVille vehicles equipped with HD Suspension (FE7). The axle uses a neoprene boot for joint protection, a female inboard connection, and a spline-style outboard shaft connection to match the listed applications. TrakMotive identifies this axle as a new replacement part, and the included axle nut is specified with a self-locking M24x2 thread and 36 mm hex size. This part cross-references Cardone New 66-1347 and Gates 70286 for the same application.

What This Axle Shaft Helps Address

• Front-end clicking during turns caused by worn CV joints
• Vibration under acceleration from a damaged axle shaft
• Grease leakage from a torn or deteriorated boot
• Noise from excessive driveline play
• Loss of smooth power delivery to the front wheels

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is equipped with HD Suspension (FE7) before ordering. Confirm front left or front right placement, spline count, and axle nut specifications against the original part. The axle is listed without an ABS tone ring, and ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted by the manufacturer. Always inspect hub, seal, and suspension components during replacement to help prevent repeat failure.

Quality Assurance

TrakMotive states this axle shaft is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. The company also notes ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certification, supporting controlled manufacturing and quality management practices.
