Product Details

This TrakMotive CV axle shaft is specified for rear axle replacement on the Toyota Matrix and Pontiac Vibe platform. The assembly uses a male inboard joint, a conventional outboard joint, and the listed spline counts to match the original driveline configuration. The included ABS tone ring supports vehicles equipped with wheel speed sensing, and the note that ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted helps simplify application matching when servicing these rear positions. TrakMotive TO-8223 is also cross-referenced to Cardone Reman 60-5276 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or popping from a worn rear CV joint
• Vibration during acceleration from a damaged axle shaft
• Boot failure that allows grease loss and contamination
• ABS warning concerns related to a damaged tone ring or sensor input
• Excessive play in the rear driveline assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear left or rear right position, spline count, axle nut thread size, and ABS configuration before installation. Inspect the hub, seals, and mating components for wear before fitting the new axle shaft. Use the correct torque procedure for the supplied axle nut and follow the vehicle service manual for final tightening and staking requirements.
