Detailed Description

TrakMotive CV axle shaft VW-86031 is engineered for the rear left side of the Porsche Boxster from 1997 through 2002. This axle uses a bolt-on inboard connection and a spline-style outboard shaft connection, with neoprene boots at both joints to support driveline service in a standard replacement application. The included ABS tone ring and 48-tooth window-style ring help maintain proper wheel speed signal function where equipped. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Replacement Reasons

• Clicking or popping noises during turns
• Vibration from the driveline during acceleration
• Grease leakage from a damaged CV boot
• Excessive play or wear in the axle assembly
• ABS signal issues related to a worn tone ring

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rear left fitment before installation on your Porsche Boxster. Verify axle nut thread size, socket size, and overall axle length against the original part before assembly. Inspect the hub, seals, and mating surfaces for wear, and follow factory torque specifications during installation.
