Detailed Description

TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft KA-8097 is engineered for the front right side of the Kia Rio from 2012 through 2017. This axle shaft uses a conventional outboard joint, a male inboard joint, and matching 25-spline connections to support proper drivetrain engagement in the specified application. The included 48-tooth toothed ABS ring and tone ring help maintain wheel speed signal compatibility where required. TrakMotive identifies this axle as a new unit, not remanufactured, and notes ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certified manufacturing practices.

This part cross-references Cardone Reman 60-3449 for the same application. KA-8097 is also referenced against OE-style numbers used for the Kia Rio front right axle application.

Common Repair Uses

• Restores drivetrain transfer when a CV axle is worn or damaged
• Addresses clicking or popping noises during turns caused by CV joint wear
• Helps correct vibration from a bent or failing axle shaft
• Replaces a leaking or torn CV boot assembly on the front right side
• Supports ABS signal operation when the original tone ring is damaged

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front right fitment against the vehicle’s year, trim, and axle configuration before installation. Confirm axle nut thread size, hex size, and locking style match the original hardware specification. Inspect the hub, seals, and mating splines for wear before installing the new axle shaft. Because ABS axles can fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted, confirm the vehicle’s sensor and tone ring setup before service.

Quality Assurance

TrakMotive backs this CV axle shaft with a limited lifetime warranty. The brand also states ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certified company standards for manufacturing and quality control.
