TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft Product Line Overview

The TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft product line focuses on delivering reliable constant velocity components designed for precise fitment and long service life. This CV axle shaft VW-8168 is part of that line, featuring a conventional outboard joint and a bolt-on inboard joint connection style to ensure secure installation and optimal driveline performance.

Detailed Product Description and Specifications

This CV axle shaft includes a 48-tooth window-type ABS tone ring, which is essential for accurate anti-lock braking system operation. The neoprene boot material provides resistance against environmental factors, helping to prevent premature wear. The axle nut is a self-locking hex type with a 31.4 mm (1.43 inch) hex size and a height of 26 mm (1.02 inch), designed to maintain secure fastening under driving conditions. The inboard joint uses a bolt-on connection style, while the outboard joint connects via a 28-spline shaft, ensuring compatibility with the Porsche Boxster's driveline components. The overall compressed length of 26.85 inches (682 mm) matches factory specifications for proper fitment.

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft VW-8168, ensure the bolt-on inboard joint is securely fastened to the transmission flange. Verify the spline engagement on the outboard shaft for proper alignment. The included self-locking hex axle nut should be torqued to manufacturer specifications to maintain secure fitment. Inspect the neoprene boot for any damage during installation to prevent premature failure.
