TrakMotive SB-8001XTT CV Axle Shaft - Front Left or Front Right

Extended Travel CV Axle for Subaru Fitments

TrakMotive SB-8001XTT is an extended travel CV axle shaft built for Subaru applications that need more suspension movement than a standard OE axle can provide. It is a new CV axle shaft for front left and front right positions on select Subaru Impreza, Forester, and Legacy models.

The Extended Travel CV Axle Shaft line adds a sliding center bar for increased plunge and CV joint articulation. Compared with a typical OE CV shaft, this design provides up to 44 mm more travel and up to 47 degrees of articulation, which is useful for vehicles with extreme suspension movement.

Detailed Description

TrakMotive SB-8001XTT is engineered for Subaru drivers who need an extended travel CV axle shaft for lifted or high-articulation suspension setups. The sliding center bar helps the axle maintain engagement through greater suspension movement, while the CV joints are built to handle a wider operating angle than a typical OE joint. This makes the SB-8001XTT a practical choice for Subaru Impreza, Subaru Forester, and Subaru Legacy front axle service where added suspension travel is part of the build.

Compatible With 1993-2001 Subaru Impreza, front right and front left; 1998-1999 Subaru Forester, front right and front left; 2000 Subaru Forester, front right and front left before 02/00; and 1990-1999 Subaru Legacy, front right and front left. This part cross-references TrakMotive SB-8001XTT for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Axle bind during suspension droop on lifted Subaru Impreza, Forester, or Legacy setups
• Reduced CV joint operating angle in high-articulation front suspension applications
• Need for a front axle shaft with more travel than a standard OE design
• Fitment issues caused by suspension geometry changes after modifications
• Front axle replacement on Subaru vehicles with worn or damaged CV components

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify front left or front right position before ordering.
• Check spline count, axle nut thread size, and compressed length against the original part.
• For extreme articulation applications, replace in pairs as noted in the fitment data.
• Confirm the Forester build date; listed fitment applies to 2000 Forester models before 02/00.
• Inspect related driveline and suspension components during installation to avoid repeat axle failure.

Quality Assurance

TrakMotive supplies this axle as a new driveline component with application-specific dimensions and hardware details listed for accurate replacement selection. The SB-8001XTT is built for Subaru front axle service where extended travel and higher articulation are required.
