Detailed Description

The TrakMotive GM-8343 is a front right CV axle shaft for the 2011-2015 Chevrolet Volt. It is a new axle assembly with a female inboard joint, conventional outboard joint, and the specified spline counts for the listed fitment. The axle nut is included, and the unit uses a self-locking M24 x 1.5 nut with a 31.8 mm hex size.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. If you are replacing a worn Chevrolet Volt front right CV axle shaft, GM-8343 provides the fitment-specific dimensions and connection style needed for service work on the Volt platform.

What This CV Axle Shaft Helps Address

• Clicking or popping noises during turns from a worn CV joint
• Vibration felt through the drivetrain during acceleration
• Grease leakage from a damaged axle boot
• Excessive play or looseness in the front right axle assembly
• Noise or driveline wear related to a failing Chevrolet Volt CV axle

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front right fitment against the vehicle’s original axle dimensions, spline count, and axle nut specifications before installation. The GM-8343 uses a female inboard connection and a conventional outboard design, so matching the original configuration is important for proper fit.

ABS tone ring is not included. TrakMotive notes that ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted, so confirm the vehicle’s ABS setup and compare the original axle before service. Use the included axle nut and follow the manufacturer’s torque procedures during installation.

TrakMotive backs this CV axle shaft with a limited lifetime warranty. The brand also states ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certified company status, supporting controlled manufacturing and quality management for driveline components.
