Product Details

This TrakMotive CV axle shaft is built for the front left side and matches the listed Infiniti driveline configurations. The NI-8517 uses a flange inboard joint, a conventional outboard joint, and a neoprene boot to support a direct replacement for worn or damaged axle assemblies.

TrakMotive identifies this axle as suitable for non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted, and the design 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 from a damaged axle shaft
• Torn boot conditions that expose the joint to contamination
• Excessive driveline play from a failing front axle assembly
• Loss of smooth power transfer to the front wheel

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle is listed by year, model, and front left position before installation. Confirm axle nut thread size, spline count, and overall compressed length against the original part. Because this axle uses a flange-style inboard connection and a spline-style outboard connection, matching the OE-style interface is important for proper fit. Always inspect related seals, hub components, and mounting surfaces during replacement.
