Product Details
TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft GM-8297 is engineered for front right replacement on the 2012-2017 Buick Verano and the 2014-2015 Chevrolet Cruze. The axle uses a male inboard connection and a conventional outboard joint, with 27 inboard splines and 30 outboard splines for the specified applications. TrakMotive identifies this part as a new unit, and the included axle nut uses an M24 x 1.5 thread with a 36 mm hex head. This part cross-references Cardone New 66-1563 for the same application.
Common Problems This Part Can Address
- Clicking or popping during turns from a worn outer CV joint
- Vibration under acceleration caused by a damaged axle shaft
- Torn or leaking CV boot conditions that expose the joint to contamination
- Excessive driveline play from spline or joint wear
- Front right axle failure on Buick Verano or Chevrolet Cruze applications
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify spline count, compressed length, and axle nut thread size before installation. Confirm front right position, and check whether the vehicle is equipped for a non-ABS axle application, since ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted. Inspect the hub, seals, and mating components for wear before installing the new axle shaft.
Quality Assurance
TrakMotive states 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 processes for driveline components.
