Product Details

The TrakMotive AAR CV Axle Shaft line focuses on replacement axle assemblies for specific vehicle applications, and GM-8389 follows that approach with application-matched dimensions and connection styles. This part number is built for the front right position on the Buick Regal and Cadillac XTS listings shown here, including updated-design applications and models with the optional M7V transmission. TrakMotive GM-8389 is a direct-fit driveline service part for restoring axle function after wear, boot damage, or joint noise.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Repair

• Clicking or popping from a worn CV joint during turns
• Vibration or shudder caused by a damaged axle shaft
• Torn CV boot conditions that can lead to grease loss and contamination
• Axle noise from spline or joint wear
• Front right driveline failure on listed Buick Regal and Cadillac XTS vehicles

Installation Notes

Verify spline count, compressed length, and axle nut thread size before installation. This axle uses a hex-style axle nut and a self-lock design, and the included nut should be matched to the vehicle’s service procedure. ABS tone ring is not included, so confirm the vehicle’s original axle configuration before ordering. Always inspect seals, hub condition, and surrounding suspension components during replacement.

TrakMotive states that this AAR CV Axle Shaft is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. The company also notes ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certification, supporting controlled manufacturing and product consistency.
