TrakMotive NI-8166 CV Axle Shaft - Front Left

CV Axle Shaft for Nissan Altima

TrakMotive NI-8166 is a new CV axle shaft for the front left position on 2002-2006 Nissan Altima models. It is built for direct driveline replacement on applications that require a 44-tooth toothed ABS ring, a neoprene boot, and the specified spline and length dimensions.

The TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft line focuses on replacement driveline components built to match OE-style fit and function. NI-8166 follows that approach with a male inboard connection, conventional outboard joint, included axle nut, and application-specific ABS tone ring details for the listed Nissan Altima fitment.
