Product Information

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.

Great axle
First off, you will need to order the OE retaining clip. I ordered the OE axle nut as well just because it bothers me. My original axle had failed so bad it had pulled out of the front diff and the inner boot was completely torn in half. I really hate sourcing CV axles as aftermarket options are almost never completely right, but this one seems to be just as good as original. I've since driven the car for a year and put over 10k miles on it, there are still no issues with the axle.

Not an exact replacement
Overall the product was in good shape even though remanufactured however the retaining clip and nut provided were incorrect. The clip was too big and wouldn't allow the shaft to seat properly in the differential. The nut provided was the correct thread type but the external size was only 32mm instead of the 36mm it should be.
