The BMW X3 is a mid size all-wheel SUV propelled with a front driveshaft and a rear driveshaft. This drivetrain system design gives it the off road advantage and the on road stability that owners of larger SUVs enjoy. To achieve that performance, BMW also installed four axles with independent suspension on this vehicle. There is a rear two-piece driveshaft from the transmission to the rear differential that allows for variations in the alignment and distance between the driving and driven components. There is also a front one-piece drive shaft that connects the transfer case to the front differential.

Failure of the U joints and the rear propeller shaft center support bearing  is common for the X3. A vibration during speeds of over 40 mph will develop. The front driveshaft U joints will also show signs of reddish rust when they are extremely bad. High quality Drive shaft replacement is important for the correct function of the vehicle.

BMW X3 Drive shaft Design

           

There are two driveshafts on this vehicle. There is a rear 2-piece drive shaft that incorporates a center support in the middle and two U-Joints mounted in the rear and in the middle. A flex joint connects this driveshaft to the transmission. There is also a front drive shaft that is a straight tubular shaft with a U-Joint mounted on each end. On early models there are flanges on each end, and on later models there is a rear splined yoke that goes into the transfer case.

Improvements

Our X3 drive shaft is made by state of the art machinery and with heavy duty materials. It is an OEM Fitment and is built to last. The center support bearing is improved for long lasting operation and vibration free design. The front driveshaft is redesigned to accommodate replaceable U joints. This gives you the advantage of being able to replace just the joint, and not the whole driveline itself, in case of a failure.

All replacement parts, such as U-joints and the center support bearing are available from us at a low cost.
