Product Details
TrakMotive VW-8072 is a front left CV axle shaft engineered for the 2001 Volkswagen Passat. The axle uses a flange-style inboard joint and an Audi-style spline bolt outboard connection, with a 33-spline outboard shaft interface and an included ABS tone ring for the specified application. TrakMotive identifies this part as a new unit, not remanufactured, and the neoprene boot material supports driveline sealing at the joint area. This part number, VW-8072, is also referenced for OE-style replacement needs on the 2001 Volkswagen Passat front left position.
TrakMotive’s CV axle shaft line is backed by ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certified manufacturing practices, and the brand states a limited lifetime warranty for this product line. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286) for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Clicking or popping noises during turns from a worn CV joint
- Vibration or shudder from a damaged axle shaft
- Grease leakage from a deteriorated boot
- ABS warning concerns tied to a failed tone ring or axle sensor interface
- Driveline looseness caused by spline or flange wear
Installation Notes
Verify the front left position, axle bolt thread size, bolt length, and spline count before installation. Confirm ABS and non-ABS application details against the vehicle build, since ABS axles may fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted. Inspect the hub, flange, and mating surfaces for wear before installing TrakMotive VW-8072.
Quality Assurance
TrakMotive states this CV axle shaft is manufactured under ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certified processes and carries a limited lifetime warranty.
