Product Information

If your BMW's drive shaft has been damaged, the u-joint has failed, or developed play this Febi front drive shaft assembly may help remedy your vehicle's irregular vibrations. Includes the forward and rearward flanges.

Drive Shaft

A driveshaft is a rotating metal shaft that transmits power from the transmission to the rear wheels in a vehicle, and signs of a failing driveshaft include: noticeable vibrations while driving, shuddering when accelerating, loud clicking or clunking noises, squeaking sounds, and difficulty turning, often accompanied by shaking coming from underneath the car; all of which are usually caused by worn-out U-joints or center bearing issues within the driveshaft assembly.

Drive Shaft Failure Symptoms
  • Vibrations: This is the most common sign of a failing driveshaft, often felt as a shaking sensation while driving, especially at higher speeds
  • Shuddering upon acceleration: When accelerating from a stop, the car may jerk or shudder due to a damaged driveshaft struggling to deliver smooth power
  • Noises: Clicking, clunking, squeaking, or rattling sounds coming from the drivetrain area can indicate worn components within the driveshaft

Classic Leaking Ujoints
My 2018 X5 50i front drive shaft had leaking ujoints. Didn't want to spend the $1,200 on a genuine one, so went with this Febi unit. It matched the factory shaft exactly and mounted right up no problem. Even better, the ujoints look to be serviceable with removable circlips.

Questions & Answers

Question Posted by Howard
Are the ujoints rebuildable on this driveshaft?? Snap rings holding cups in place or just peened in place?? Thank you.
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
The U-joints on this driveshaft do not appear to be rebuildable. They are usually peened in place at the factory.
Question Posted by Stoney
Do the bolts to the flange need to be replace? if so can you link them in the response?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Wouldn't be necessary to replace them while servicing, but if you wanted to I have those available listed below. https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-torx-screw-with-ribs-26117529387 and https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-hex-bolt-m12x15x44zns3-26117523708
Question Posted by Etheridge
What is the true quality of this drive shaft since it is manufactured in China? I see the OE is made in USA. Thanks
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
This part is manufactured to OEM size/specification from an aftermarket company.
