Product Details

TrakMotive KA-8023 is a CV axle shaft engineered for the front right side of the Kia Rio from 2001 through 2005. The axle uses a male inboard connection, a conventional outboard shaft connection, and matching 24-spline counts at both ends for the listed fitment. The ABS configuration includes a 44-tooth toothed ring and tone ring, and the axle nut is supplied with the correct thread, hex size, and stake-style locking design for the application. TrakMotive positions this part within its CV Axle Shaft line, and the brand notes ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certified company processes.

This part cross-references Cardone New 66-8140 for the same application.

Common Replacement Reasons

• Clicking or popping during turns from worn CV joints
• Vibration or shudder during acceleration
• Torn axle boot or grease leakage
• ABS warning concerns tied to a damaged tone ring or axle sensor interface
• Excessive play or noise from a worn front axle assembly

Installation Notes

Verify front right fitment against the vehicle’s original axle length, spline count, and ABS configuration before installation. Inspect the hub, seals, and surrounding suspension components during replacement, and confirm the axle nut thread size and locking style match the vehicle specification. After installation, torque fasteners to the manufacturer’s service procedure and road test the vehicle to confirm smooth operation.
