Detailed Description

TrakMotive VW-8170 is an AAR CV axle shaft engineered for select Volkswagen Tiguan front right applications.

The TrakMotive AAR CV Axle Shaft line focuses on application-specific driveline replacement parts for passenger vehicles. For this Volkswagen Tiguan axle shaft, the updated-design notes and VIN-specific 2018 coverage are important for correct selection. This part number, VW-8170, should be matched to the exact vehicle year, build details, and front right position before installation.

This part cross-references TrakMotive VW-8170 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Clicking or popping from a worn front CV axle
• Vibration during acceleration from a damaged axle shaft
• Torn boot conditions that can lead to grease loss
• Driveline noise from worn spline or joint interfaces
• Front right axle replacement needs on listed Volkswagen Tiguan models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s year, front right position, and build notes before ordering. For 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan, confirm the updated design and Mexico-built VIN 3 requirement shown in the fitment data. Check axle bolt size, thread specification, and spline count against the original part before installation.

Because ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted, confirm the vehicle’s ABS configuration and compare the original axle details to VW-8170. Inspect related seals, hubs, and mounting points for wear before completing the repair.

TrakMotive states that this axle shaft is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. The manufacturer also identifies its facility as ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certified, supporting controlled production standards for this driveline component.
