Detailed Description

GKN Loebro 304219 is a CV axle shaft engineered for the front right side of the Mini Cooper from 2002 through 2008.

This part cross-references BMW/Mini OE numbers 31601503306 and 31607514478 for the same application.

GKN Automotive supplies driveline components for a wide range of passenger vehicles, including front-wheel-drive, rear-wheel-drive, all-wheel-drive, hybrid, and electric platforms. The 304219 axle shaft reflects that OE-focused approach with application-specific tuning for the Mini Cooper front right position.
