Beck/Arnley Drive Shaft Flex Joint P/N:103-3067
Smooth out driveline shock and keep power flowing through the rear driveshaft with the Beck/Arnley Drive Shaft Flex Joint 103-2218 (also written 1032218). This flexible joint (flex disc) bolts into the rear driveline to transmit torque between shaft sections while its rubber body cushions and dampens vibration during acceleration and deceleration. It's an application-specific, direct-fit replacement for a range of BMW models, including the 1984-1985, 1991-1993 and 1996-1998 318I, the 1991-1993 and 1996-1997 318IS, the 1977-1983 320I, the 1984-1987 325E, the 1987-1991 325I, the 1988-1991 325IX, the 1985-1986 524TD, the 1984-1988 528E, and the 1996-1998 Z3 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
If a cracked, split, or hardened flex joint is behind driveline vibration, clunking on take-off, or shudder under power, this replaces the worn original.
