Product Details
This TrakMotive CV axle shaft is engineered for direct replacement service on Nissan Kicks and Nissan Versa front left driveline applications. The NI-8656 uses a male inboard connection, a conventional outboard joint, and matched 25-spline counts to support proper fitment in the listed vehicles. TrakMotive identifies this axle as a new part, and the neoprene boot helps protect the joint assembly during normal road use. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286) for the same application.
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 play in the front left driveline assembly
- Loss of smooth power transfer to the front wheel
Installation Notes
Verify front left fitment by year, model, and spline count before installation. The axle nut is included and uses an M22 x 1.5 thread with a cotter pin locking style, so confirm the hub and nut specifications match the vehicle before assembly. Because ABS tone ring is not included, confirm the vehicle does not require an ABS-specific axle configuration.
Quality Assurance
TrakMotive states that this CV axle shaft is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. The company also notes ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certification, supporting controlled manufacturing and quality management for the NI-8656 axle shaft.
