    Need a Source for a Rear Axle

    I had a rear CV go out on my track-only car this past weekend. Heavy vibration in a left turn (not wheel bearings). I tried to source left and right replacements from Bimmerworld and they told me that I really need to replace the whole rear axle (I don't know if my problem is inside or outside). All they have to do that is this: https://www.bimmerworld.com/Drivesha...V-Upgrade.html from Driveshaft Shop. They only do rebuilds so I'd be off track for almost a month - which is a big problem for me.

    Do anyone have any idea where I can source a a rear axle - new or trusted used in a short time? If used it needs to be no-drama.

    I'm in a pinch on this. Thanks for any insight you may have!

      I just checked my local BMW dealer and they are in stock. I had to replace my left axle about a year ago. It broke when my mechanic was working on my diff (he paid). They are not cheap though.

          I tried a cheapo GSP axle and had nothing but problems. The boot twisted and then tore open after a couple of track events.

            Bimmerworld pitched this baller one to me - but it is a rebuild only and I can't wait 3.5 weeks: https://www.bimmerworld.com/Drivesha...V-Upgrade.html
