Detailed Description

KA-8066 is a TrakMotive CV axle shaft for Kia Soul front right driveline service. It is listed for 2014-2019 Kia Soul models, with fitment notes that identify VIN 2 applications for certain 2017-2019 vehicles and VIN 2 on the 8th digit for 2018 models. The axle uses a male inboard shaft connection, a conventional outboard shaft connection, and a neoprene boot to support consistent operation in the covered application range.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Clicking or popping during turns from a worn outer CV joint
• Vibration under acceleration caused by axle wear
• Grease leakage from a damaged CV boot
• Noise from a failing front right axle assembly
• ABS-related service needs when the tone ring is part of the repair

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s VIN and axle configuration before ordering, especially on 2017-2019 Kia Soul models with VIN 2 notes. Confirm spline count, axle nut thread size, and ABS tone ring requirements against the original part before installation. Always inspect seals, hub condition, and related suspension components during axle replacement.
