Keep power flowing to your lifted Subaru's rear wheels with the TrakMotive Extended Travel CV Axle Shaft (SB-8104XTT). This rear-position assembly transfers torque from the differential to the wheel hub while allowing for suspension movement and steering angle, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2013-2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek, 2014-2018 Subaru Forester, and 2016-2017 Subaru Crosstrek.
Torn boots, grease slung around the wheel well, or a clicking noise when turning are common signs a CV axle may need replacing. If a worn or failed rear axle is the cause, this TrakMotive shaft replaces it. For per-engine coverage, see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications.

What vehicles does the SB-8104XTT fit?
It is a direct-fit rear CV axle shaft for the 2013-2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek, 2014-2018 Subaru Forester, and 2016-2017 Subaru Crosstrek. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.
Is this a front or rear axle shaft?
It is cataloged as a rear CV axle shaft for the listed Subaru applications.
How is this different from a standard CV axle?
Its sliding center bar provides up to 44mm more travel than an OEM CV shaft, and the joints can reach up to a 47-degree articulation angle versus a max 23 degrees on a typical OE joint.
Why choose an extended-travel CV axle?
The added travel and articulation are designed to accommodate the increased suspension range on a lifted Subaru, where a standard-length axle may bind or limit droop.
What are signs my CV axle may need replacing?
Common signs include torn CV boots, grease slung inside the wheel well, or a clicking noise when turning. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
