Product Details

TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft KA-8085 is engineered as a direct driveline replacement for front left service on select Kia Soul, Kia Forte, Kia Forte5, and Kia Forte Koup models. The axle uses a conventional outboard joint, a male inboard connection, and a compressed overall length of 26.34 inches (669 mm) to match the listed applications. This part cross-references OE-style numbers such as 49501B2500 and 219085 for the same application.

The TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft line focuses on application-specific replacement parts for driveline and axle service. KA-8085 follows that approach with matched spline counts, ABS tone ring details, and included axle nut specifications that align with the vehicle fitment data for Kia Soul and Kia Forte platform vehicles.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or popping noises during turns from a worn CV joint
• Vibration or shudder during acceleration from axle wear
• Grease leakage from a damaged axle boot
• ABS warning concerns related to a damaged tone ring or sensor interface
• Driveline looseness caused by spline or joint wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front left fitment by year, model, and VIN details before installation. Confirm the axle nut thread size, hex size, and locking style against the vehicle’s service requirements. Inspect the hub, seals, and mating components for wear before installing the new axle shaft, and follow factory torque procedures during assembly.
