Beck/Arnley Drive Shaft Bearing Support Assembly P/N:101-4019
Keep your BMW's two-piece driveshaft turning smoothly and quietly with the Beck/Arnley Drive Shaft Center Support Assembly (P/N 101-8049). Mounted at the midpoint of the driveshaft, the center support cradles the shaft and its bearing, locating the shaft between the transmission and rear axle while helping isolate driveline vibration. It fits many BMW models, among them the 2003-2009 BMW Z4, 2001-2006 BMW 325Ci and 2001-2006 BMW 325i. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine-level fitment.
Signs the original may need replacing include a driveline growl, humming, or vibration that changes with speed, or a clunk on acceleration. Diagnose the cause before replacing, as these symptoms can have other sources.
