TrakMotive SA-86001 front CV axle shaft for the 2003-2007 Saab 9-3 carries engine power from the transmission to the front wheel. This TrakMotive CV axle is made for the front right side.
A clicking noise when turning, a torn boot with grease around it, or vibration when accelerating can mean a worn axle shaft. Before you replace it, rule out a wheel bearing or tire problem, which can make similar noises. Front axle shafts are normally replaced as a pair; this listing is one shaft for the front right, and the front left is a separate part.
This shaft is a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2007 Saab 9-3. On the front right, the 2004-2007 Saab 9-3 takes one of these shafts and the 2003 model takes two.
