Detailed Description

This TrakMotive CV axle shaft, part number GM-8249, is engineered for rear axle replacement on the Pontiac GTO. It uses bolt-on joint connections with M10 x 1.5 thread sizing, 8 mm Allen bolt heads, and 55 mm bolt length at both ends. The axle is a new unit with a neoprene boot and an overall compressed length of 20.24 inches, making it a direct-fit driveline service part for the specified rear left and rear right positions. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

TrakMotive’s CV Axle Shaft line focuses on replacement driveline components built for OE-style fitment and consistent application coverage. GM-8249 is listed for the 2005-2006 Pontiac GTO and is intended for rear axle service where the original shaft has worn joints, damaged boots, or driveline vibration concerns.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Clicking or popping from a worn CV joint
• Grease leakage from a torn axle boot
• Vibration during acceleration from a damaged axle shaft
• Excessive driveline play at the rear axle
• Noise from a failing rear left or rear right CV axle assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear left or rear right application before ordering, since GM-8249 is listed for both positions on the Pontiac GTO. Confirm bolt-on joint style, 6-bolt flange pattern, and overall compressed length before installation. The axle nut is not included, and the ABS tone ring is not included. Always inspect mating surfaces, fasteners, and surrounding suspension components during axle replacement.
