Detailed Description

TrakMotive NI-8106 is a CV axle shaft engineered for the front left side of select Nissan Maxima vehicles. It is listed for 2000 Nissan Maxima, front left, and 2001 Nissan Maxima, front left, w/o limited slip differential. Key dimensions include a 25.12 in. compressed length, 29 splines on both ends, and a male inboard shaft connection with a conventional outboard joint.

This axle shaft includes an ABS tone ring with a 44-tooth toothed design and comes with the axle nut specified for the application. The neoprene boot helps protect the joint area from road contamination while maintaining driveline movement. Part number NI-8106 is also referenced in interchange listings for related aftermarket and OE-style applications.

This part cross-references Cardone New 66-6191 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Clicking or popping noises during turns from a worn CV joint
• Vibration or shudder during acceleration from axle wear
• Grease leakage from a damaged CV boot
• Axle shaft play or binding in the front driveline
• ABS-related fitment needs where the tone ring is part of the assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front left fitment, model year, and the limited slip differential note before installation. Confirm spline count, axle nut thread size, and compressed length against the removed part to ensure proper fit on the Nissan Maxima. Inspect related hub, seal, and suspension components during replacement to avoid repeat driveline noise.

TrakMotive states that this CV axle shaft is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. The brand also notes ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certification, reflecting controlled manufacturing and quality management practices for driveline components.
