Detailed Description

GKN Loebro 304670 is a CV axle assembly developed with premium OE technology from GKN Automotive, a global driveline supplier used by major vehicle manufacturers. This axle is specified for the front right position on 2008-2010 BMW X3 models and on 2007 BMW X3 vehicles built from January 12, 2006. The design uses a plunging inboard joint and fixed ball outboard joint to match the driveline geometry required by these BMW X3 applications. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

  • Clicking or popping during turns caused by worn CV joints
  • Vibration or shudder from a worn front axle assembly
  • Grease leakage from a damaged axle boot or joint area
  • Driveline noise under acceleration or load transfer
  • Uneven power delivery to the front right wheel

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm front right placement, spline counts, compressed length, and axle nut thread size before installation. Verify the 2007 BMW X3 build date requirement if servicing that model year. Inspect related hub, seal, and suspension components during replacement to help avoid repeat driveline noise or vibration. Use the correct torque procedure for the axle nut and follow BMW service specifications.

Quality Assurance

GKN Automotive supplies driveline components to a large share of global vehicle manufacturers and produces axle assemblies at high volume for passenger vehicles, light trucks, sports cars, luxury vehicles, and 4x4 applications. GKN Loebro 304670 reflects that OE-focused engineering approach for BMW X3 front right service.
