TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft Product Line Details

The SB-8049 model exemplifies these standards with its integrated ABS ring and neoprene boot, ensuring consistent performance and longevity in Subaru driveline applications.

Technical Specifications and Features

This CV axle shaft includes a 44-tooth toothed ABS ring with an included tone ring, which supports accurate wheel speed sensor readings for ABS systems. The axle nut is a hex type measuring 1 1/4 inches (31.8 mm) across flats, with a height of 4/5 inch (20 mm) and a length of 1 1/3 inches (34.4 mm). It uses a stake locking mechanism to secure the nut firmly in place. Both inboard and outboard joints feature 25 splines, with the inboard joint designed as a male type and the outboard joint as conventional. The neoprene boot material provides resistance to wear and environmental factors, protecting the joint from contaminants.

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility by verifying the part number SB-8049 against your Subaru Legacy or Outback model year and drivetrain configuration. Use proper torque specifications when installing the axle nut to avoid damage. The stake locking type nut requires staking after tightening to prevent loosening. Inspect the CV boot for any damage during installation and replace if necessary to maintain joint integrity.
