TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft Product Line Details

The TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft product line focuses on providing new, high-quality constant velocity axle shafts engineered for direct replacement in driveline and axle systems. This line emphasizes bolt-on joint connections with precise bolt hole counts and sizes to match factory specifications, ensuring compatibility and ease of installation for Volkswagen and Audi models requiring the VW-8068 part number.

Technical Description and Features

The VW-8068 CV Axle Shaft is constructed with neoprene boots that resist wear and environmental damage, extending the life of the joint. Both the inboard and outboard joints utilize a bolt-on design secured by six M8*1.25 threaded Allen bolts, each 2 2/7 inches (58 mm) in length, providing a secure and stable connection. The axle shaft’s overall compressed length measures 15.31 inches (389 mm), matching OEM specifications for proper fitment. This part does not include an ABS tone ring or axle nut, so those components must be sourced separately if required.

Common Applications and Problem Resolution

• Replacement for worn or damaged CV axle shafts in Volkswagen and Audi vehicles
• Eliminates axle vibration and noise caused by joint wear or boot failure
• Restores driveline stability and smooth power transfer to the wheels
• Addresses grease leakage from torn or cracked CV boots
• Prevents further drivetrain damage by maintaining proper axle alignment

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation requires proper torque of the six Allen bolts on both inboard and outboard joints to M8*1.25 specifications. The bolt-on design facilitates direct replacement without modification. Ensure the mating surfaces are clean and free of debris before assembly. Since the axle nut is not included, verify compatibility and source the correct nut separately. Use appropriate tools for the 1/4 inch (6 mm) Allen bolt heads to avoid stripping.
