No, there can be differences in length and splines depending on the exact build date and gearbox type. Always select your car's make, model and engine variant in our selector to ensure you get the correct part for your specific car.

On the BMW X3 E83, it is very common for the ABS ring on the drive shaft to corrode and crack. This causes the sensor to read incorrect signals, triggering the warning light. We sell separate ABS rings as a cost-effective solution to this problem.

It means that when you select your vehicle's exact make, model and engine specification, we guarantee the part will fit your car. In the unlikely event that it does not, we arrange a quick and hassle-free replacement.

The car normally has two propeller shafts: a front shaft running between the transfer box and the front axle, and a rear prop shaft running to the rear axle. We offer options to cover both positions.

It depends on the extent of the wear. Replacing the complete drive shaft is often more time-efficient and reliable, but in some cases, replacing an individual CV joint or CV boot is sufficient if the shaft itself is otherwise in good condition.
