BMW 5 Serie 535 I E39

The most common symptoms are clicking noises during acceleration or vibrations coming from the rear axle. If the CV boot is split and grease has leaked out, there is a high risk that the CV joint has suffered damage and the complete drive shaft will need to be replaced.

No, the 535i is powered by a V8 engine and frequently uses heavier-duty drive shafts than smaller-engined models. It is therefore vital to select your car's exact make, model and engine variant to ensure the correct dimensions and spline count.

Vibrations felt through the car body at higher cruising speeds are often caused by an unbalanced propeller shaft or a worn centre bearing. They can also stem from worn universal joints within the prop shaft assembly.

Our propeller shafts are supplied as complete units ready for installation, enabling you to restore your car's drivetrain to pristine condition quickly and efficiently.

This means that when you select your vehicle's make, model and engine and order the part we recommend, we guarantee that it fits your car correctly. If it does not, we will help you exchange it for the right part at no extra charge.
