Part Description
This OEM rear drive shaft was removed from a 2013 BMW 328i AWD sedan equipped with automatic transmission. The part has been thoroughly inspected by our certified technicians and is currently on our shelf ready for immediate shipment. All mounting points and CV joints have been checked for proper operation and structural integrity.
The rear drive shaft is a critical component in BMW’s xDrive all-wheel drive system, transferring power from the transfer case to the rear differential. Common replacement reasons include worn CV joints causing clicking or vibration, damaged boots allowing contamination, or impact damage from road debris. A failing drive shaft can cause vibration during acceleration, clicking sounds when turning, or complete loss of power to the rear wheels.
