Product Details

TrakMotive TO-8150 CV Axle Shaft is engineered for the front left side of the Toyota Highlander from 2001 through 2003. This axle uses a conventional outboard shaft connection and a bolt-on inboard joint, with 30 outboard splines and a 48-tooth toothed ABS ring. The included ABS tone ring supports vehicles equipped with ABS, and TrakMotive notes that ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted. The axle is built to an overall compressed length of 21.85 inches, helping maintain correct driveline geometry for the specified Highlander applications.

TrakMotive’s CV Axle Shaft line focuses on replacement driveline components for passenger vehicles, and TO-8150 follows that approach with application-specific construction and certified manufacturing processes. This part cross-references Cardone New 66-5253 and Cardone Reman 60-5253 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or popping noises during turns from a worn CV joint
• Vibration or shudder during acceleration caused by axle wear
• Torn or deteriorated CV boot conditions that allow grease loss and contamination
• ABS warning concerns related to a damaged tone ring or axle-mounted sensor interface
• Excessive driveline play from a fatigued front axle assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the front left position and confirm axle length, spline count, and ABS ring configuration before installation. Inspect the axle seals, hub splines, and mounting hardware condition during service, and torque fasteners to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications. Because this axle includes a stake-style axle nut with M22 x 1.5 thread, follow proper staking and torque procedures during final assembly.

Quality Assurance

TrakMotive TO-8150 is a new replacement axle shaft manufactured by an ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certified company. It is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
