TrakMotive SB-8043 Rear CV Axle Shaft

TrakMotive SB-8043 is a new rear CV axle shaft for Subaru and Saab applications that require a direct replacement for the rear right or rear left position, depending on model year.

Product Details

The TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft line focuses on direct-fit driveline replacement parts for passenger vehicles. SB-8043 is engineered for rear axle service on Subaru Forester, Subaru Impreza, Subaru Legacy, and Saab 9-2X applications where the original axle uses the listed spline counts, shaft connections, and compressed length. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What This Axle Shaft Helps Address

  • Clicking or popping from a worn CV joint during turns
  • Vibration or shudder from a damaged rear axle shaft
  • Torn boot conditions that expose the joint to contamination
  • Loss of driveline smoothness from spline or joint wear
  • Replacement needs after axle noise, grease leakage, or joint failure

Installation Notes

  • Verify rear right or rear left position against the vehicle listing before installation.
  • Confirm axle nut thread size, hex size, and locking style match the original hardware.
  • Check spline counts and compressed length against the removed axle shaft.
  • ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted by the vehicle listing.
  • Inspect seals, hub condition, and surrounding suspension components during replacement.

Quality Assurance

SB-8043 is backed by TrakMotive’s limited lifetime warranty. The part is produced by an ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certified company, supporting consistent manufacturing control for rear CV axle replacement service.
