Product Details

This TrakMotive CV axle shaft is engineered for Saturn Vue front axle service where a direct-fit replacement is needed. The SN-8023 uses a female inboard connection and conventional outboard shaft connection, along with 34 inboard splines and 33 outboard splines to match the specified application. The overall compressed length is 22.09 inches (561 mm), and the neoprene boot helps protect the joint area during normal driveline operation. TrakMotive SN-8023 is listed for both front left and front right positions on the 2005-2008 Saturn Vue, making it a practical replacement for worn or damaged axle assemblies.

TrakMotive’s CV Axle Shaft line focuses on replacement driveline components for passenger vehicles, and this part follows that product line approach with application-specific fitment and OE-style construction details. This part cross-references Cardone New 66-1378 for the same application.

Common Reasons for Replacement

• Clicking or popping noises during turns from a worn CV joint
• Vibration during acceleration caused by axle wear or imbalance
• Torn boot or grease loss at the axle assembly
• Axle shaft damage from road impact or driveline stress
• Excessive play or noise from a failing front axle assembly

Installation Notes

Verify front left or front right application before installation on the Saturn Vue. Confirm axle nut thread size, hex size, and overall length against the removed part before assembly. The included axle nut uses an M27 x 2 thread with a self-locking design. Because this axle does not include an ABS tone ring, confirm the vehicle’s ABS configuration before ordering and installation.

Quality Assurance

TrakMotive states that this CV axle shaft is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. The manufacturer also notes ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certification, supporting controlled production and quality management practices.
