Detailed Description

TrakMotive VW-8018 is a replacement CV axle shaft engineered for Volkswagen driveline service where the front left axle is required. It measures 540 mm overall compressed length and uses a 6-bolt inboard joint with a conventional outboard connection, making it a direct-match solution for the listed Golf, Jetta, Rabbit Convertible, and Rabbit Pickup fitments. The axle nut is included and specified with an M20 x 1.5 thread, 30 mm hex size, and self-locking design. TrakMotive identifies this axle shaft as a new part and notes that ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted.

This part cross-references Cardone New 66-7002 and Cardone Reman 60-7002 for the same application. TrakMotive VW-8018 is also listed against multiple aftermarket interchange numbers for Volkswagen front left CV axle replacement needs.

What It Helps Address

• Clicking or popping noises during turns from a worn CV joint
• Vibration or shudder from a damaged axle shaft
• Torn boot conditions that can lead to grease loss and joint wear
• Driveline looseness caused by worn splines or joint interfaces
• Front left axle replacement on the specified Volkswagen models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s front left application, 90 mm diameter inboard joint note where listed, and spline and bolt pattern details before installation. Confirm axle nut thread size, hex size, and locking style against the original hardware and service procedure. Inspect the hub, seals, and mating joints for wear before installing the new axle shaft.
