lowering woes?

Is there any reason for axle failures when lowering the mini?? The only reason Iam asking is because my axle feels like its about to blow right out lol.. I already raised it and its on its way to mini for service but we will see what they deem the problem.. or even if they deem my warranty valid for that matter(intake exhuast header pulley and crank pulley are all changed..) we will see im hoping for good luck!:impatient lol

ciao

engine mods have nothing to do with your suspension warranty.

but engine mods may stress the axle ... or suspension mods may stress the axle ... either way, lots of mods gives the dealership lots of room to reject the warranty if they wish to
