Product Details
This TrakMotive CV axle shaft is part of the brand’s CV Axle Shaft line and is engineered for driveline service on BMW rear left positions where an OEM-style axle is required.

What It Helps Address
- Clicking or popping from a worn rear CV axle
- Vibration during acceleration from driveline wear
- Boot damage that can lead to grease loss and joint wear
- Excessive play in the rear axle assembly
- Noise from a failing axle on BMW 135i and 335i rear left applications
Installation Notes
Verify rear left fitment by year, model, and engine configuration before installation. Confirm axle length, spline count, and axle nut specifications against the original part: 36 mm socket size, M27x1.5 thread, and stake-style locking. Inspect mating surfaces, seals, and hub components during replacement to help ensure proper seating and smooth operation.
