Built to send drive torque from the drivetrain to a front wheel while flexing with the suspension and steering, the TrakMotive CV axle shaft GM-8135 is a front-position replacement axle. It is listed for several models, among them the 2002-2009 Chevrolet Trailblazer, 2002-2009 GMC Envoy and 2002-2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full vehicle list and engine details.
A CV axle uses constant-velocity joints at each end, so the shaft keeps turning smoothly as the wheel moves up and down and steers. Signs this part may need replacing include clicking or popping when turning, vibration while accelerating, and grease thrown around the inside of the wheel from a torn boot. Other components can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. If a worn front axle is the cause, this assembly replaces it. Consult the vehicle service information for torque values and for whether the original axle nut and fasteners may be reused.
