TrakMotive GM-8545XTT CV Axle Shaft - Front

Extended Travel CV Axle for GM Front Applications

TrakMotive GM-8545XTT is an extended travel CV axle shaft built for select front applications on Chevrolet, GMC, and Cadillac full-size trucks and SUVs. It uses a sliding center bar to provide more suspension travel than a standard OE-style shaft, while the CV joints allow greater articulation for lifted or modified front-end geometry.

• CV joint articulation reaches up to 47 degrees versus a typical 23-degree OE joint
• Premium-grade construction with thermoplastic joint boots
