Product Details

The TrakMotive CV axle shaft line is built for driveline replacement applications where correct fit, joint style, and spline count matter. VW-8009 measures 20.87 inches compressed length and uses a 22-spline outboard end with a bolt-on inboard connection. The axle nut is included and uses a hex head with self-locking design. TrakMotive identifies this axle as suitable for non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted, and the part is backed by ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certified manufacturing processes.

This part cross-references Cardone New 66-7005 and Cardone Reman 60-7005 for the same application. It is also referenced under TrakMotive VW-8009 for ordering and catalog lookup.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or popping during turns from a worn CV joint
• Vibration or shudder under acceleration from axle wear
• Torn or leaking axle boot conditions
• Excessive driveline play in the front left axle assembly
• Noise caused by damaged splines or joint wear

Installation Notes

Verify front left fitment by year, model, and joint configuration before installation. Confirm the vehicle uses the correct inboard joint style and axle nut thread size, and compare the original axle length and spline count to the replacement part. If the vehicle is equipped with ABS, confirm whether the application requires a tone ring, since this axle does not include one.

For 1985-1992 Volkswagen Golf, front left, and 1985-1992 Volkswagen Jetta, front left, the listing notes a 100mm diameter inboard joint. Use the vehicle’s original hardware and torque specifications during installation, and inspect seals, bearings, and mounting points before returning the vehicle to service.
