Detailed Description

TrakMotive BM-8012 is a CV axle shaft for the front right side of the 2002-2004 Mini Cooper. This axle shaft is specified with a 34.92-inch compressed length, a male inboard shaft connection, and a conventional outboard connection to match the listed vehicle application.

TrakMotive’s CV Axle Shaft line focuses on replacement driveline components built for direct-fit service. BM-8012 follows that approach with application-specific dimensions and spline counts for the Mini Cooper front right position. This part cross-references Cardone New 66-9278 for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Clicking or popping noises during turns from a worn CV joint
• Vibration or shudder during acceleration
• Grease leakage from a damaged axle boot
• Excessive play in the driveline from worn axle components
• Front right axle failure on the listed Mini Cooper applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify spline count, axle length, and axle nut thread size before installation. The included axle nut uses a stake-style locking design, so follow the vehicle service procedure for proper tightening and staking. ABS tone ring is not included, and ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted by the vehicle configuration.

TrakMotive states that this CV axle shaft is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. The manufacturer also notes ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certification, supporting controlled production and quality management for replacement driveline parts.
