Product Line Details

Detailed Description

TrakMotive SB-8041 is a replacement CV axle shaft for rear left service on 1995-2000 Subaru Impreza, 1998-2002 Subaru Forester, 1995-1999 Subaru Legacy, and 2006-2007 Subaru Impreza, plus 2006 Saab 9-2X. This Subaru rear left CV axle shaft is built with a male inboard shaft connection, conventional outboard connection, 25 inboard splines, and 24 outboard splines to match the listed applications. The included axle nut uses an M22 x 1.5 thread with a 1 1/4 in. hex size and stake locking design. SB-8041 is also referenced as a direct replacement for select cross-reference numbers in the aftermarket, including Monroe Shocks & Struts 172286 and 182286 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

  • Clicking or popping from a worn rear axle joint
  • Vibration during acceleration from a damaged axle shaft
  • Grease leakage from a torn or deteriorated boot
  • Excessive drivetrain play from spline or joint wear
  • Noise from a failing rear left CV axle on Subaru Impreza, Forester, or Legacy models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear left fitment by year, model, and spline count before installation. Confirm axle nut thread size, hex size, and locking style match the vehicle specification. Inspect hub, bearing, and seal surfaces during replacement, and replace any worn related components before final assembly. ABS tone ring is not included, so confirm the vehicle does not require one for the application.
