Detailed Description

TrakMotive MZ-8053 is a CV axle shaft engineered for the front right side of the 1995-1998 Mazda Protege. The axle uses a female inboard shaft connection with 28-2T inboard splines and a conventional outboard joint with 26 outboard splines. Its ABS setup includes a toothed ring with 44 teeth and an included tone ring, supporting vehicles equipped for wheel speed sensing. The axle is new, not remanufactured, and measures 24.41 inches compressed length for proper driveline fitment.

This part cross-references Cardone New 66-8087 and ACI 87302 for the same application. TrakMotive’s CV Axle Shaft line focuses on replacement driveline components for service work where OE-style fit and function matter.

What It Helps Repair

• Clicking or popping during turns caused by worn CV joints
• Vibration from a damaged or bent axle shaft
• Grease leakage from a torn or deteriorated boot
• ABS warning concerns related to a damaged tone ring or sensor trigger setup
• Driveline noise from excessive axle wear on the front right side

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify spline count, axle length, and ABS ring configuration before installation. Confirm the axle nut thread size, hex size, and locking style match the vehicle’s service requirements. Inspect the hub, seals, and mating joints during replacement to help prevent repeat axle noise or leakage. This axle is listed for non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted by the vehicle setup.

Quality Assurance

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