Product Details
The TrakMotive GM-8286 is a CV axle shaft for front left driveline service on 2009 Chevrolet Malibu, 2009-2012 Chevrolet Malibu, 2009-2010 Pontiac G6, and 2009 Saturn Aura applications listed with the MH8 or MH2 transmission notes. This axle shaft uses a male inboard connection and a conventional outboard connection, with 34 inboard splines and 30 outboard splines for the specified fitments. TrakMotive identifies this part as a new CV axle shaft, and the included axle nut uses a hex head with self-locking design.

The GM-8286 part number is also referenced in interchange listings for related aftermarket and remanufactured applications.
This part cross-references Cardone New 66-1458 and Dayco 72099 for the same application.
