Product Details

The TrakMotive CV axle shaft NI-8242 is specified for the front left side of the Infiniti FX45 from 2003 through 2008. This axle shaft is a direct driveline replacement for the listed application and includes the axle nut, which helps simplify parts matching during service. TrakMotive positions this CV axle shaft line as a new replacement component built under ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certified manufacturing processes.

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

Common Replacement Reasons

• Clicking or popping during turns from a worn CV joint
• Vibration during acceleration caused by axle wear
• Torn or deteriorated axle boot on the front left shaft
• Grease leakage around the CV joint area
• Driveline noise from a damaged or fatigued axle assembly

Installation Notes

Confirm front left fitment before ordering and verify spline count, axle nut thread size, and compressed length against the original part. This axle uses a hex axle nut with standard locking type and M24 x 1.5 thread. ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted, and this listing does not include an ABS tone ring.
