Product Details

TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft MI-8168 is engineered as a direct-fit driveline replacement for the Mitsubishi Endeavor front left side. The axle uses a female inboard connection, a conventional outboard joint, and the specified spline counts to match the original application. An ABS tone ring is included, making this axle suitable for vehicles that require the correct wheel speed signal components. This part cross-references Cardone New 66-3543 for the same application.

As part of the TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft line, MI-8168 is a new replacement component built for driveline service where the original axle has worn joints, damaged boots, vibration, or clicking during turns. The listed compressed length, axle nut specifications, and ABS ring details help confirm application accuracy before installation.

Common Repair Symptoms

• Clicking or popping noise during turns
• Vibration under acceleration
• Torn CV boot or grease leakage
• Worn axle splines or joint play
• ABS-related driveline service requiring the correct tone ring setup

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front left fitment by year, model, spline count, axle nut thread size, and overall compressed length before installation. Confirm whether the vehicle uses ABS and compare the tone ring configuration to the original axle. The included axle nut uses a 32 mm hex size and cotter pin locking type, so matching service tools and hardware checks should be completed during replacement.

TrakMotive states that this axle is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. The manufacturer also notes ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certification, supporting controlled production and quality management for this CV axle shaft.
