Detailed Description

TrakMotive TO-8238 is a CV axle shaft for front left driveline service on the Toyota Highlander, Lexus RX350, and Toyota Venza applications listed above. The axle is configured with a male inboard connection, spline outboard shaft connection, and a conventional outboard joint, making it a direct-fit replacement for the specified vehicles and positions. The included ABS tone ring and toothed 48-tooth ring support vehicles equipped with ABS, while ABS axles also fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted by the catalog data. TrakMotive identifies this axle as part of its CV Axle Shaft line, and the TO-8238 part number should be matched to the exact vehicle and position before installation.

This part cross-references Cardone New 66-5308 and Cardone Reman 60-5306 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Clicking or popping during turns caused by worn CV joints
• Vibration or shudder from a damaged axle shaft
• Grease leakage from a compromised CV boot
• ABS warning concerns related to a missing or damaged tone ring
• Driveline noise from spline or joint wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s year, make, model, and front left position before ordering. Confirm spline count, axle nut thread size, and ABS tone ring requirements against the original part. The axle nut is included and uses an M22 x 1.5 thread with a 31.8 mm hex and stake-lock design. Because fitment is application-specific, compare the original axle length and connection style to TO-8238 before installation.

TrakMotive states that this CV axle shaft is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. The brand also notes ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certification, reflecting controlled manufacturing and quality management practices for driveline components.
