TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft Product Line Details

The TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft product line focuses on delivering precise fitment and robust construction for driveline and axle components.

Technical Specifications and Features

This CV axle shaft features neoprene boots that resist wear and environmental damage, extending the life of the joint. Both inboard and outboard joints utilize bolt-on connection styles with six bolt holes each, secured by M8*1.25 threaded Allen bolts measuring 2 2/7 inches (58 mm) in length. The inboard bolt head size is 1/4 inch (6 mm), matching the outboard bolt head size for uniformity. The overall compressed length of 21.3 inches (541 mm) fits the specified vehicle models precisely.

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation requires proper alignment of the bolt-on joints using the six bolt holes on both ends. Use a 1/4 inch (6 mm) Allen wrench to tighten the M8*1.25 bolts to manufacturer torque specifications. Ensure the neoprene boots are seated correctly to prevent contamination. This part is designed for direct replacement and does not include axle nuts or ABS tone rings, so retain original hardware if applicable.
