Car parts and drivetrain components for BMW 5 523 I. Always check the fit before ordering.
The most common signs are a clicking noise on full steering lock or vibrations during acceleration. If the CV boot is split and grease is leaking out, this is also a strong indication that the joint will soon need replacing.

No, there are variations depending on the model year and engine variant. Always select your vehicle's make, model and engine in our selector to ensure an exact fit.
Typically, you will need a socket set, a puller, a torque wrench and specialised pliers for the boot clamps. We recommend consulting a workshop manual for your specific model.
Many CV joints feature an integrated ABS ring. If this reluctor ring is damaged or corroded, it can cause the ABS warning light to illuminate and prevent the system from operating correctly.
