TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft Product Line Details

The TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft product line focuses on delivering high-quality constant velocity components designed to restore driveline integrity. This line emphasizes compatibility with specific vehicle makes and models, ensuring that each axle shaft meets exacting standards for spline count, joint type, and boot material. The MZ-8023 model exemplifies this approach by combining a male inboard joint and conventional outboard joint with durable neoprene boots and a robust ABS tone ring system.

Technical Specifications and Features

This CV axle shaft features a male inboard joint type with 26 splines and a conventional outboard joint also with 26 splines, providing a secure and precise connection to the drivetrain. The included ABS ring has 90 teeth and a toothed design, paired with an ABS tone ring to maintain accurate wheel speed data for ABS systems. The axle nut is a hex head type measuring 1 1/4 inches (31.8 mm) across flats, with a height of 4/5 inch (20 mm) and a length of 1 1/3 inches (34.4 mm). It uses an M22x1.5 thread size and a stake locking mechanism to prevent loosening during operation. The neoprene boot material offers resistance to wear and environmental damage, extending the service life of the joint.
