BMW 3 Serie 324 TD E30

The most common signs include clicking noises under load, vibrations while driving, and visible damage to the CV boots. For a rear-wheel-drive car like the 324 TD E30, vibrations from the rear end often indicate that a drive shaft or CV joint is starting to fail.

Not always. The diesel 324 TD model often features heavy-duty components to handle the higher torque. It is therefore crucial to select your exact vehicle model and engine to ensure that the drive shaft or propeller shaft you purchase is designed specifically for the diesel variant.

We recommend a visual inspection at every oil service or at least once a year. Because the rubber in the boots ages and can crack, catching a split early is cheap insurance before dirt has the chance to ruin the inner or outer CV joints.

Vibrations during acceleration are frequently caused by wear in an inner CV joint. Once play develops in the joint, it can no longer keep the shaft centred under load, creating an imbalance and vibrations that travel throughout the car.

Yes, you can easily replace just the inner CV joint if the shaft itself is otherwise in good condition. We offer individual inner CV joints tailored specifically for the BMW 3 Serie 324 TD E30 to keep repair costs down.

A balanced propeller shaft provides smooth, vibration-free driving across the entire speed range. When you purchase a replacement prop shaft from us, it arrives factory-balanced and ready to fit, eliminating the risk of resonance and droning caused by an unbalanced shaft.
