Detailed Description

TrakMotive MI-8089 CV axle shaft is engineered for front left replacement on the Chrysler PT Cruiser and Dodge Neon platforms listed above, including 2001-2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser front left and 2000-2005 Dodge Neon front left, excluding SRT-4 models. It also fits 2000-2001 Plymouth Neon front left. The axle is built as a new unit with a male inboard connection, conventional outboard joint design, and the spline counts needed for the specified applications. The included ABS tone ring and 46-tooth ring support vehicles equipped with ABS, while the manufacturer notes that ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted.

This part cross-references Cardone New 66-3302 and Dayco 72517 for the same application. MI-8089 is part of TrakMotive’s CV Axle Shaft line, focused on replacement driveline components for common passenger-car service needs.

What This Part Helps Address

• Clicking or popping noises during turns from worn CV joints
• Vibration or shudder under acceleration from a failing axle shaft
• Grease leakage from a damaged CV boot
• Excessive drivetrain play caused by worn splines or joint wear
• ABS-related axle replacement needs on supported applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify axle length, spline count, and axle nut thread size before installation. Confirm whether the vehicle is equipped with ABS and match the tone ring configuration to the original setup. Use the correct 32 mm axle nut socket and follow factory torque procedures for the PT Cruiser, Neon, or Plymouth Neon application. Inspect hub, bearing, and seal surfaces during replacement to help prevent repeat axle noise or leakage.

TrakMotive states that this axle shaft is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. The brand also notes ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certification, reflecting controlled manufacturing and quality management processes for replacement driveline parts.
