Product Details

The TrakMotive CV axle shaft MZ-8225 is a direct-fit driveline component for front left service on the Mazda 6 and Mazda CX-5 applications listed above. It is designed as a new replacement axle with the specified spline count, compressed length, and axle nut configuration to match the original driveline layout. TrakMotive positions this CV axle shaft line as a replacement solution for passenger vehicles that need a precise fit at the front axle assembly.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Clicking or popping during turns from a worn CV joint
• Vibration felt through the drivetrain during acceleration
• Grease leakage from a damaged axle boot
• Excessive play or noise from a worn front axle assembly
• Loss of smooth power transfer to the front wheel

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front left fitment by year, model, spline count, and axle nut thread before installation. The included axle nut uses a 32 mm hex and M22 x 1.5 thread. This axle does not include an ABS tone ring, and ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted by the vehicle listing. Confirm hub and transmission engagement points are clean and inspect related seals and hardware during service.
