Detailed Description

TrakMotive KA-8041 is a front right CV axle shaft engineered for Kia Spectra and Kia Spectra5 applications that require a direct replacement axle assembly. The shaft uses a conventional outboard joint, a male inboard connection, and matching 25-spline interfaces to support proper fitment in the specified vehicles. The included ABS tone ring and 44-tooth ring count help maintain wheel speed signal compatibility where equipped, while the neoprene boot supports joint protection during normal suspension movement. This part cross-references Cardone Reman 60-3472 and 60-3473 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or popping noises during turns from a worn CV joint
• Vibration or shudder under acceleration caused by axle wear
• Grease leakage from a damaged axle boot
• ABS warning concerns related to a damaged tone ring or axle assembly
• Excessive drivetrain play from a fatigued front right axle shaft

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front right position, spline count, axle length, and axle nut thread size before installation. Confirm ABS and non-ABS configuration details against the vehicle build, since ABS axles can fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted. Inspect hub, bearing, and sealing surfaces during replacement to help prevent repeat noise or vibration concerns. Use the included axle nut and follow the vehicle service procedure for final torque and cotter pin installation.
