Product Details

This TrakMotive CV axle shaft is specified for rear axle service on the BMW Z3 and is listed for both rear right and rear left positions across 1996, 1997, and 1998 model years. The BM-8064 uses a bolt-on inboard joint with six inboard bolt holes and six inboard shaft bolts, along with a conventional outboard connection and 27 outboard splines. The included ABS tone ring and 48-tooth window-style ring support vehicles equipped with ABS, while the manufacturer notes that ABS axles fit non-ABS applications unless otherwise noted. This part cross-references BMW OE numbers 33201229235 and 33211229645 for the same application.

Common Replacement Reasons

• Clicking or popping from the rear axle area during acceleration or turning
• Vibration or shudder from worn CV joints
• Torn or leaking axle boot with grease loss
• ABS warning concerns related to a damaged tone ring or axle assembly
• Excessive driveline play on a BMW Z3 rear axle

Installation Notes

Verify rear right or rear left application before installation on your BMW Z3. Confirm axle nut thread size, hex size, and overall compressed length against the original part to ensure proper fitment. Inspect the mating flanges, fasteners, and wheel speed sensor components during replacement, and follow factory torque specifications for the axle nut and inboard bolts.
