Detailed Description

GKN Loebro 306361 is engineered for the front right position on the 2012-2015 BMW X1. The axle uses GKN Automotive Face Spline technology at the hub connection, which routes torque through the face of the joint and reduces connection complexity compared with conventional shaft interfaces. That design approach is used in premium driveline applications where packaging, weight, and torque delivery matter.

With a plunging inboard joint and a fixed ball outboard joint, this CV axle assembly is built to match the geometry and spline requirements of the specified BMW X1 fitment. It is a practical replacement for worn or noisy front axle assemblies on BMW X1 models from 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015. This part cross-references 7591682 and 7606300 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Clicking or popping from the front right axle during turns
• Vibration felt through the drivetrain under acceleration
• Grease leakage from a damaged CV joint boot
• Excessive play or looseness in the axle assembly
• Noise caused by worn splines or joint wear at the hub end

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify spline counts, compressed length, and axle nut thread size before installation. Confirm front right placement on the vehicle and inspect related hub, seal, and suspension components for wear before fitting the new axle. Because the axle nut is not included, reuse or source the correct M16x1.5 hardware as required by the vehicle service procedure.
