Product Details

The TrakMotive AAR CV Axle Shaft line focuses on application-specific driveline replacement parts. MZ-8252 follows that approach with an updated design, a new construction, and hardware details that match the listed fitment requirements. It uses a male inboard joint, a conventional outboard joint, and a 32 mm axle nut hex size with M22 x 1.5 thread specification. This part number, MZ-8252, is listed for 2010-2013 Mazda 3 front left, 2010-2013 Mazda 3 Sport front left, 2011-2013 Mazda 3 Sport front left, and 2008-2010 Mazda 5 front left applications.

What It Helps Fix

  • Clicking or popping from a worn CV joint
  • Vibration during acceleration from a damaged axle shaft
  • Boot failure that can lead to grease loss and joint wear
  • Driveline noise caused by spline or joint wear
  • Axle replacement needs after inspection or teardown

Installation Notes

Verify axle length, spline count, nut thread size, and ABS requirements before installation. ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted. Use the listed fitment only for the exact Mazda 3, Mazda 3 Sport, and Mazda 5 applications shown, and confirm the front left position before ordering. The included axle nut uses a stake locking design.

Quality Assurance

TrakMotive lists this axle shaft as a new part and states a limited lifetime warranty. The brand also notes ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certification, supporting controlled manufacturing and quality management practices.
