TrakMotive SB-9043XTT CV Axle Shaft - Rear Left or Rear Right

Extended Travel CV Axle for Subaru and Saab

TrakMotive SB-9043XTT is an Extended Travel CV Axle Shaft built for rear applications that need more suspension movement than a standard OE axle can provide. It is a new CV axle shaft for Subaru Forester, Subaru Impreza, Subaru Legacy, and Saab 9-2X models with extreme articulation requirements.

The Extended Travel CV Axle Shaft line uses a sliding center bar to provide up to 44 mm more travel than an OEM CV shaft. The CV joints also allow up to 47 degrees of articulation, compared with about 23 degrees on a typical OE CV joint. That extra range helps maintain driveline operation in lifted, lowered, or high-travel rear suspension setups.
