You sure have to watch these 240D rear axles. The problem is these cars have so much brute horsepower, those axles get trashed in a hurry.

Seriously though, this is the only trouble I've ever seen or heard of regarding 240D axles. I guess enough years have gone by now, that just plain age and rot is finally getting them.

Putting 67 horsepower in a chassis designed for three times that has some advantages.

Have a great day,
