Frequently Asked Questions about Drivetrain Parts for BMW 3 Series 318 IS E36
How do I know if a drive shaft on my BMW 318 IS E36 is failing?
The most common symptoms are clicking noises when cornering or vibrations during acceleration. If a CV boot has split and leaked grease, the CV joint will wear out rapidly, leading to these noises.
Do all E36 drive shafts fit a 318 IS?
No, there are differences in length and mounting flanges depending on the engine option and differential type. Always select your specific make, model and engine variant to find the correct drive shaft for your 318 IS.
Why does my BMW 318 IS vibrate at speeds over 80 km/h?
This is frequently caused by an imbalance in the propeller shaft or a worn centre bearing. If the vibrations are felt through the vehicle body rather than in the steering wheel, the prop shaft is the most probable culprit.
Are CV joints included when I buy a complete drive shaft?
Yes, when you order a complete drive shaft from us, both the inner and outer CV joints are included along with pre-fitted boots, making replacement considerably easier.

Our fitment guarantee means that if you have selected the correct vehicle model and engine details and we have confirmed the part, we guarantee that it will mechanically fit your car.
