Detailed Description
GM-8408 is a direct-fit CV axle shaft for the front left side on 2013-2021 Buick Encore and 2013-2020 Chevrolet Trax applications listed in the fitment data. It is engineered as a new driveline replacement with the correct spline counts, compressed length, and axle nut specifications needed for proper installation on the specified vehicles. This part cross-references GM-8408 and 94522011 for the same application.
For buyers searching for a front left CV axle shaft for Buick Encore or Chevrolet Trax, this part provides the key dimensional and connection details needed to match the original driveline setup. The axle uses a neoprene boot and does not include an ABS tone ring, and the manufacturer notes that ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted.
What It Helps Fix
- 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
- Clunking or looseness from a failing front axle assembly
- Driveline wear on a high-mileage Buick Encore or Chevrolet Trax
Installation Notes
Verify front-left fitment by year, make, model, and application details before installation. Confirm the axle nut thread size, spline counts, and overall compressed length against the original part. Because this axle uses a stake-locking axle nut, follow the vehicle service procedure for proper torque and staking. Check ABS requirements before installation since no ABS tone ring is included.
