Product Details

The TrakMotive NI-8180 is part of the CV Axle Shaft line, a product line focused on direct driveline replacement for passenger vehicles. This axle is built with a male inboard connection, conventional outboard joint design, and the specified spline count and compressed length needed for proper drivetrain engagement. It is intended for Nissan fitments that call for this exact configuration, including Nissan models listed in the application data for this part. The NI-8180 also cross-references Cardone Reman 60-6055 for the same application.

TrakMotive manufactures this axle as a new component and states that its products are produced under ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certified quality systems. The axle nut is included, and the axle does not include an ABS tone ring.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or popping noises during turns from a worn CV joint
• Vibration or shudder caused by a worn or damaged axle shaft
• Grease leakage from a cracked or deteriorated boot
• Driveline play from spline wear or joint wear
• Loss of smooth power delivery from a failing front axle assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify axle length, spline count, and axle nut thread size before installation. Confirm whether the vehicle uses ABS or non-ABS hardware, since this axle does not include an ABS tone ring and ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted by the manufacturer. Replace the axle nut during service and torque all fasteners to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications. For Nissan CV axle replacement work, compare the removed axle to the NI-8180 before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

TrakMotive backs this CV axle shaft with a limited lifetime warranty. The brand also notes ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certified manufacturing processes for this product line.
