BMW 3 330 D

The most common sign is a clicking or knocking noise that occurs when making a sharp turn at low speeds. If the sound disappears when driving straight ahead but returns when cornering, it is almost certainly a worn outer CV joint.

Vibration during acceleration is often caused by an imbalance in the propeller shaft or a worn centre bearing. On a powerful model like the 330 D, worn inner CV joints can also cause vibration, but the prop shaft centre bearing is a very common culprit.

Yes, you can replace just the propeller shaft centre bearing. However, this requires dismantling and splitting the prop shaft. It is a cost-effective solution compared to replacing the complete propeller shaft.

No, the 330 D often features beefier drive shafts and joints to handle the high torque compared to smaller engine variants. Always select your exact make, model and engine to ensure you get the correct part.
