TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft P/N:VW-8180
TrakMotive MZ-8180 rear CV axle shaft for the 1994-1995 Mazda Miata carries drive torque to the rear wheel. This TrakMotive CV axle shaft keeps turning the wheel while the suspension moves.
A clicking noise on turns, vibration, or grease thrown from a torn boot can mean a CV axle is wearing out. Before you replace this shaft, rule out a worn wheel bearing or a tire problem, since those can feel similar. Doing both rear axles together is the usual approach; this listing is one shaft, and the 1994-1995 Mazda Miata takes two.
This rear CV axle shaft is a direct-fit replacement for the 1994-1995 Mazda Miata.
