Product Information

The interface of the driveshaft art the differential pinion shaft consists of a splined joint that is locked in place with a giant nut. The splined interface on some cars may have a slight bit of play resulting in a clicking noise when the drive train is loaded and unloaded. This happens most notably when:

  • Transitioning from driving forward to backing up
  • During load reversal while driving (i.e., engine load to overrun, etc.)

This problem is resolved by using Loctite 648 sealant inside the drive shaft coupling which will take up the slack causing the clicking noise. Apply a 5mm thick bead of sealant 10mm deep inside the driveshaft coupling joint, reinstall onto the differential with the new locking nut, and let the sealant cure while the vehicle is stationary (~3 hours).

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.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
