Detailed Description

TrakMotive VW-8169 is a replacement CV axle shaft for Volkswagen driveline repair, built to match the listed front right applications. It uses a spline-style inboard and outboard connection, a male inboard joint, and an Audi-style spline bolt outboard joint to support proper fitment on the specified Passat and Beetle models. The axle measures 896 mm overall compressed length and includes the listed axle bolt dimensions for application matching.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. Use VW-8169 when servicing a Volkswagen Passat front right axle issue or a Volkswagen Beetle front right axle replacement within the listed years.

What It Helps Fix

• Clicking or popping during turns from a worn CV joint
• Vibration under acceleration caused by axle wear
• Grease leakage from a damaged axle boot
• Driveline noise from spline or joint wear
• Loss of smooth power transfer to the front right wheel

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s year, model, and front right position before installation. Confirm axle bolt thread size M16x1.5, 17 mm hex size, and 85 mm bolt length against the vehicle’s original hardware and hub requirements. Check whether the vehicle uses ABS or non-ABS configuration, since ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted. Inspect seals, hub splines, and surrounding suspension components during replacement to help prevent repeat driveline noise.
