TrakMotive HO-8036 front left CV axle shaft for the 1996-2004 Acura RL and other vehicles carries drive torque to the wheel. Its joints let the wheel steer and follow suspension travel while the shaft keeps turning.
A worn axle can show up as clicking when turning, vibration while driving, or grease thrown from a torn boot. If you suspect the axle, start by looking over the boots with the engine off for splits or grease spatter. Noise and vibration can also come from other parts, and a shop can test the rest.
It fits the 1996-2004 Acura RL and the 1996-1998 Acura TL. The ABS-ring version also fits non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
Is this TrakMotive CV axle for the left or right side of a 1996-2004 Acura RL?
It is the front left axle. TrakMotive HO-8036 fits the 1996-2004 Acura RL and the 1996-1998 Acura TL; the front right side is a separate part.
Does the axle nut come with this front left axle?
Yes. The axle nut is included, and so is the toothed ABS tone ring. This listing is one axle shaft.
What socket size do I need for the axle nut on this axle?
The axle nut is a 36 mm hex, so it takes a 36 mm socket, and its thread is M24x1.5. It uses stake-type locking.
How can I tell if a CV axle boot has failed?
A split boot or grease thrown around the joint can mean the joint has lost its grease. Clicking on turns can be another sign, though other parts can cause it too.
How long is this TrakMotive CV axle shaft?
TrakMotive HO-8036 has an overall compressed length of 671 mm (26.42 in). Its inboard joint is female with 31-2T splines, and the outboard joint is conventional with 28 splines.
