Product Details

Cardone applies its CV axle engineering experience to this 66-9326 assembly to address common failure points found in original driveline components. The boot design helps resist ozone cracking and bellows stress, while individually verified shaft straightness supports vibration-free operation at speed. This makes the axle a practical replacement for a worn or damaged front left axle on a Mini Cooper.

This part cross-references Mini OE numbers 31602756339 and 31604853483 for the same application.

Common Problems This Axle Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noises during turns
• Grease leakage around the axle boot or suspension area
