Product Details

TrakMotive positions the AAR CV Axle Shaft line as a direct-fit driveline solution for European applications, and MB-8052 follows that approach with application-specific spline counts, joint design, and compressed length. This part number is listed for front left service on Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG S, E63 AMG, E63 AMG S, CL550, S350, S550, and S450 models across the 2007-2018 model years shown in the fitment data. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., NCV48011, PR48011) for the same application.

Common Replacement Reasons

• Clicking or popping during turns from worn CV joints
• Vibration or shudder during acceleration
• Torn boot or grease loss at the axle shaft
• Excessive driveline play from internal joint wear
• Front left axle noise on Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG S, E63 AMG, CL550, S550, or S450 applications

Installation Notes

Verify the front left position, spline counts, and axle length before installation. This axle uses a female inboard joint with spline connections and does not include an axle nut or ABS tone ring. Confirm the vehicle’s axle bolt thread size is M16 x 1.5 and match the listed Mercedes-Benz platform type before service.
