Hello MA. Got on this thread looking for information on drive axles. Great to have another source of information from MINI owners.
Welcome. If you're looking for replacement axles, check out The Driveshaft Shop in Salisbury, NC. I bought one of their Level 0 axles. Quality machine work and half the price of OEM.
I have looked at them, and have been in contact with them. The main concern I have is they have no warranty on their Level 0 axles. How long have you had yours, and how have they held up. I have looked at several online and local store axles, and do not have a good feeling of the quality an durability of the bargain stuff. I like the DriveShaftShop axles, but want to get a level of comfort with them.
