BMW Differential Mount (E38) - Genuine BMW 33171090089

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

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.
