Detailed Description

The TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft line is built for direct replacement applications where correct spline count, joint style, and ABS tone ring configuration matter. HY-8221 is engineered with 28 inboard splines, 30 outboard splines, and a 26.75-inch compressed length to match the listed front left driveline setup. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Compatible with 2013-2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, front left, and 2014-2015 Kia Sorento, front left. Use HY-8221 when replacing a worn or damaged axle on these vehicles and when the original configuration calls for an ABS-equipped shaft with the specified tone ring setup. The TrakMotive HY-8221 is also identified by interchange reference 495002W600.

What This Part Helps Address

• Clicking or popping during turns caused by worn CV joints
• Vibration from a damaged or out-of-balance axle shaft
• ABS warning concerns related to a missing or incorrect tone ring
• Grease leakage from a deteriorated axle boot
• Driveline noise from spline or joint wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify spline count, compressed length, axle nut thread size, and ABS ring configuration before installation. This axle uses a male inboard connection and a conventional outboard connection, so matching the original shaft design is important for proper fitment. Confirm front left application details on the vehicle before service, especially on 2013-2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport and 2014-2015 Kia Sorento models.

Quality Assurance

TrakMotive states that this CV axle shaft is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. The manufacturer also notes ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certification, supporting controlled production and quality management for driveline components.
