Sneed F56 Race Axle — Driver Side (Automatic Transmission)
The Sneed F56 Race Axle — Driver Side for automatic transmissions is a premium performance replacement front drive axle engineered by SneedSpeed for F-Series turbocharged MINI Cooper models with automatic gearboxes (including F56 Cooper S). It’s designed to provide stronger power handling and reliability under elevated torque and horsepower demands up to 450 hp, making it ideal for performance-minded street cars and track-oriented builds.
