BMW Differential Mount Bushing - Genuine BMW 33171134871

Product Information

A differential mount is a component that secures the differential to the vehicle’s chassis or subframe. It absorbs and dampens the vibrations and torque generated by the differential, helping to maintain stability and alignment within the drivetrain. Differential mounts are typically made of rubber or polyurethane and play a crucial role in transferring power smoothly to the wheels.

• Clunking or Banging Noises: A common symptom of a failing differential mount is clunking or banging noises, especially when accelerating, decelerating, or shifting gears, as the differential shifts due to loose or damaged mounts
• Vibrations: Worn or damaged mounts can cause excessive vibrations in the drivetrain, leading to noticeable shaking or vibrating felt in the rear of the vehicle or even in the cabin.

About Genuine BMW

The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.
