Product Information

OE replacement axle assembly from GKN

BMW's with xDrive are susceptible to front axle boots tearing and outer CV joints developing slop or play. If your BMW's front axles are in rough shape or you can hear an audible clicking while turning from the front end it's a good idea to replace your worn axles

Most cheaper axle assemblies on the market are not built to the specs that original equipment is and that is why we recommend replacing axle assemblies with either an OEM or Genuine BMW replacement to be ensured quality and durability.

Also install with a new axle shaft seal, p/n 33107505601

CV Axle Shaft

A CV (Constant Velocity) axle shaft is a key drivetrain component that transfers power from the transmission or differential to the wheels while accommodating steering angles and suspension movement. It uses CV joints at both ends to deliver smooth, consistent torque, even during turns or over uneven road surfaces. A healthy CV axle ensures efficient power delivery, stable handling, and reduced drivetrain vibration.

CV Axle Shaft Failure Symptoms
  • Clicking or popping noises when turning, often from worn CV joints.
  • Grease leakage around the CV boot, indicating a torn or damaged boot.
  • Excessive vibration during acceleration, caused by a failing or imbalanced axle shaft.

Axle c-clip
The c-clip made it impossible to install, and broke. Best to replace it with the one from the old axle.

** must re-use oem c-clip when installting **
As reviews on the front right axle mention, you should remove and replace the c-clip this comes with, with the one from the axle you're replacing. I did that on my passenger side R/R 2 years ago, but forgot this time, and had to work really hard to drive the axle into the diff. So hard, that I spent a sleepless night worrying I'd damaged my diff by breaking something in it, or had misaligned the splines. These dont' seem to last the 100K + miles the BMW axles do, but they're also 1/4 to 1/3 the price, take it or leave it. on my 200K mile beauty, I couldn't bring myself to spend $1000 on an oem axle. Expecting maybe 30K out of this before it starts vibrating on the inner joint again.

Questions & Answers

Ask a question
Question Posted by Jarrett
Is the circlip that comes with this axle the correct sizing? As compared to oreilly and autozone ones where it’s commonly known that the circlip is either too big or too small making it a hassle for removing and installing?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Some have indicated that (likely because of internal component wear) the circlips on these can be difficult to install and recommend using the circlip off the old axle.
Question Posted by ANTHONY
Is this a new OEM GKN Front Axle, or is it a Remanufactured Axle?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
New.
