Product Details

This TrakMotive CV axle shaft is engineered for BMW rear driveline service where a bolt-on axle assembly is required. The BM-8017 uses a neoprene boot and bolt-on shaft connections at both ends, with matching inboard and outboard joint geometry for the listed BMW 525i, 535i, 530i, and 540i rear positions. TrakMotive identifies this axle as a new replacement part and notes that ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted. The BM-8017 also cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 172286 for the same application.

What This Axle Shaft Helps Address

• Clicking or popping from a worn rear CV joint
• Vibration during acceleration from a damaged axle shaft
• Torn boot conditions that can lead to grease loss and joint wear
• Excessive driveline play in rear BMW axle service
• Noise from a failing rear left or rear right CV axle assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear left or rear right position before ordering. Confirm bolt-on joint style, 6-bolt flange pattern, and M10 x 1.5 hardware specifications against the vehicle before installation. This axle does not include an ABS tone ring or axle nut. For BMW 525i, 535i, 530i, and 540i rear axle replacement, compare the original axle length and connection style to BM-8017 before assembly.

TrakMotive states that this CV axle shaft is backed by a limited lifetime warranty and produced by an ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certified company.
