Detailed Product Description

The GM-86228 CV Axle Shaft from TrakMotive is designed to restore driveline integrity in compatible GM vehicles. It features a conventional outboard joint with 33 splines and a neoprene boot that resists wear and environmental damage. The inboard joint uses a flange connection style with a neoprene boot, ensuring consistent joint protection. The included self-locking hex axle nut (M24x1.5 thread) measures 36 mm across flats and 42 mm in length, providing secure fastening and resistance to loosening under normal driving conditions. With an overall compressed length of 22.87 inches (581 mm), this axle shaft fits precisely in the specified models, maintaining proper driveline geometry and performance.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

  • Replacement for worn or damaged CV axle shafts causing vibration or noise
  • Fixing torn or leaking CV joint boots to prevent grease loss and contamination
  • Resolving axle nut loosening issues with the included self-locking nut
  • Restoring driveline stability and smooth power transfer in GM trucks and SUVs
  • Addressing axle shaft wear that leads to driveline binding or clicking sounds

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported before beginning installation. Verify the GM-86228 axle shaft matches the original part by comparing length, spline count, and joint types. Use a 36 mm socket to properly torque the included self-locking axle nut to manufacturer specifications. Inspect surrounding components such as wheel bearings and seals during installation for any signs of wear. Proper lubrication of the CV joints is critical; however, this part comes pre-lubricated and sealed with neoprene boots.

The neoprene boots provide enhanced protection against contaminants and wear.
