Show original supplier description
The Driveshaft Shop Level 2.9 Axle is engineered for demanding performance applications, offering a robust solution for MK4 vehicles. This axle is part of the Level 2.9 series, which has been revised from earlier 500hp versions to better support harder launches, stronger clutches, and stickier tires. Constructed with aerospace-level materials, it is rated for 650hp+ and designed to withstand significant torsional flex and repeated load cycling. The direct-fit design ensures OEM compatibility, making it a long-term drivetrain upgrade. Specifically designed for the MK4 platform, this axle is a direct fit for models equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission and either the 1.8T or VR6 engine. It is an ideal component for vehicles intended for drag racing, autocross, or spirited street driving. The product is designed to pair with its matching right-side axle (RA2297X2-V2) for a complete, high-strength drivetrain setup.
