TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft Product Line Details
The TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft product line focuses on delivering dependable constant velocity components tailored for driveline and axle applications. This line emphasizes bolt-on joint connections for secure installation and maintenance ease. The VW-8045 model exemplifies these characteristics with its precise bolt specifications and neoprene boot construction, suitable for vehicles requiring robust CV axle replacements.
Technical Description and Specifications
This CV axle shaft features a neoprene boot material that offers resistance to wear and environmental factors, extending the service life of the joint. Both the inboard and outboard joints utilize bolt-on connection styles with six bolt holes each, secured by M8*1.25 thread size bolts with Allen head types. The bolts measure 1/4 inch (6 mm) in head size and 2 2/7 inches (58 mm) in length, ensuring a tight and reliable fit. The overall compressed length of 18.9 inches (480 mm) is designed to match specific Volkswagen and compatible vehicle driveline requirements. This part does not include an ABS tone ring or axle nut, so those components must be sourced separately if needed.

Installation requires proper torque specifications for the M8*1.25 Allen head bolts on both inboard and outboard joints. Ensure the neoprene boot is correctly seated to prevent contamination and premature wear. Since the axle nut and ABS tone ring are not included, verify compatibility with existing components or acquire replacements as necessary. This CV axle shaft is designed for bolt-on installation, facilitating straightforward replacement on compatible Volkswagen and similar models.
