TrakMotive MI-8137HDX front CV axle shaft for the 2002-2005 Dodge Ram 1500 delivers drive torque to the front wheel. This TrakMotive CV axle replaces a shaft whose joints have worn or whose boot has torn.
Clicking when turning, vibration under acceleration or grease around a torn boot can mean the axle is worn. These signs alone do not prove the axle is the problem; a worn wheel bearing can make a similar noise.
This CV axle fits the 2002-2005 Dodge Ram 1500. The truck takes two, one on each side of the front axle; this listing is a single shaft, and the two are normally replaced together.
