TrakMotive SB-8122 CV Axle Shaft

The TrakMotive AAR CV Axle Shaft SB-8122 is a new front axle assembly for select Subaru applications, including Crosstrek, XV Crosstrek, Impreza, WRX, and Forester models. Built for front left and front right positions where listed, it uses spline-style shaft connections and a conventional outboard joint for direct driveline service.

This AAR CV axle shaft line is positioned as a replacement solution for Subaru front-drive service needs, with application coverage that includes updated-design vehicles and VIN-specific fitment notes. The SB-8122 is built with a neoprene boot, includes the axle nut, and is backed by TrakMotive manufacturing standards tied to ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certification.

Detailed Description

The TrakMotive SB-8122 AAR CV Axle Shaft is engineered for Subaru front axle replacement service where the original shaft has worn joints, damaged boots, or driveline vibration. It fits 2016-2017 Subaru Crosstrek front right and front left, 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek front right and front left, 2014 Subaru Impreza front right and front left with VIN-specific updated-design notes, 2014 Subaru WRX front right and front left with VIN-specific updated-design notes, 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek front right and front left with VIN-specific updated-design notes, 2010-2013 Subaru Forester front right and front left, and 2009 Subaru Forester front right and front left with production-date notes.

This part cross-references 28321FJ020 and SB10529ER for the same application. The SB-8122 part number is useful when matching the correct axle by position, spline count, and compressed length on Subaru front axle service jobs.

Common Repair Uses

  • Restoring smooth power transfer after CV joint wear
  • Replacing a torn or leaking axle boot
  • Correcting clicking or popping during turns
  • Addressing vibration from a worn front axle shaft
  • Repairing axle damage from road impact or corrosion

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s VIN, production date, and axle position before ordering, especially on 2009 and 2014 Subaru applications with split fitment notes. Confirm the axle nut thread size, spline count, and overall compressed length against the original shaft before installation. Because ABS tone ring is not included, confirm the vehicle’s ABS configuration and original axle design before service. Use the included axle nut and follow Subaru torque and staking procedures during installation.
