No, propeller shafts vary in length and mounting flanges depending on the engine option and gearbox type. It is therefore crucial to select your exact make, model and engine to find the right part for your specific 520 I E28.

Our complete propeller shafts are typically delivered fully balanced and ready to fit, usually including universal joints and in many cases a pre-fitted centre bearing to ensure straightforward installation and vibration-free driving.

Yes, it is technically possible, but if the prop shaft joints are also worn or the shaft has become unbalanced, it is often more cost-effective and reliable to replace the complete assembly to guarantee a proper result.

Our fitment guarantee means that if you select your specific car details and purchase the part we recommend, we guarantee it will fit. If something should unexpectedly not match, we will assist you in getting the correct part promptly.

An unbalanced propeller shaft rotates at high speeds, and the slightest discrepancy creates severe vibrations. This not only causes premature drivetrain wear, but can also damage the gearbox output bearings and differential input seals.
