Product Details
The TrakMotive MB-8005 is a front left CV axle shaft engineered for Mercedes-Benz ML platform vehicles from 1998 through 2005. It is specified for ML320, ML430, ML500, ML55 AMG, and ML350 applications, with fitment coverage that matches the listed spline counts, axle length, and ABS tone ring configuration. TrakMotive identifies this as a new part, and the brand notes ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certified manufacturing practices. The MB-8005 also cross-references Cardone New 66-9015 for the same application.
Common Issues This Part Can Address
- Clicking or popping from a worn front left CV joint during turns
- Vibration or shudder caused by axle wear or imbalance
- Torn or deteriorated axle boot allowing grease loss and contamination
- ABS warning concerns related to a damaged tone ring or incorrect axle configuration
- Driveline noise from excessive play in the axle assembly
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle’s front left application, spline count, and ABS configuration before installation. Confirm axle nut thread size and hex size against the original hardware, and inspect the hub, seals, and mating components for wear before reassembly. Because this axle uses a male inboard connection and conventional outboard joint design, matching the original drivetrain layout is important for proper fitment on Mercedes-Benz ML320, ML430, ML500, ML55 AMG, and ML350 models.
