Product Details

This TrakMotive CV axle shaft is part of the brand’s CV Axle Shaft line and is engineered for rear left driveline replacement on the Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain. The GM-8280 uses a male inboard shaft connection, a conventional outboard shaft connection, and a neoprene boot to support CV joint sealing in the specified rear axle applications. The axle nut is included and uses a hex head with M24x2 thread size, 35.5 mm hex size, and self-locking design. TrakMotive identifies this axle as a new unit and notes that ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted.

Common Repair Uses

• Restores driveline operation after a worn or damaged rear CV axle
• Addresses clicking, vibration, or binding from a failing CV joint
• Replaces a leaking or torn CV boot assembly on the rear left side
• Corrects axle noise caused by spline wear or joint deterioration
• Supports service on 2010-2017 Chevrolet Equinox and 2010-2017 GMC Terrain rear left applications

Installation Notes

Verify rear left fitment by year, make, and model before installation. Confirm spline count, compressed length, and axle nut thread size against the original part. Because this axle does not include an ABS tone ring, compare the vehicle’s original axle configuration before service. Use proper torque procedures for the included axle nut and inspect related seals, hubs, and suspension components during replacement.
