Product Details

The TrakMotive AAR CV Axle Shaft line is built for OE-style driveline replacement where the original axle uses an AAR design. GM-8497 follows the specified spline counts, compressed length, and axle nut configuration for the listed applications, making it a direct replacement choice for front left service on the Chevrolet Blazer and Cadillac XT6. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 84750291) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

  • Clicking or popping during turns from a worn CV joint
  • Vibration or shudder from a damaged axle shaft
  • Grease leakage from a torn or deteriorated boot
  • Noise under acceleration caused by spline or joint wear
  • Front left driveline failure on OE AAR-design vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front left fitment by year, model, and OE AAR design before installation. Confirm axle nut thread size, spline count, and compressed length against the original part. ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted, and this axle does not include an ABS tone ring. Use the included self-lock axle nut when the vehicle specification calls for M27x2 hardware.

Quality Assurance

TrakMotive states this AAR CV axle shaft is backed by a limited lifetime warranty and produced by an ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certified company. GM-8497 is a new part built to support consistent replacement quality for the listed Chevrolet Blazer and Cadillac XT6 applications.
