Beck/Arnley Drive Shaft Flex Joint P/N:103-2218
Smooth out driveline shudder and keep torque flowing through the driveshaft with the Beck/Arnley Drive Shaft Flex Joint (also called a flexible joint), MPN 103-3067. This flexible coupling links driveshaft sections and helps absorb the small angular movements and vibration between them as power is transmitted. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2010 BMW 550I and 650I, the 2002-2005 BMW 745I and 745LI, the 2006-2008 BMW 750I and 750LI, and the 2007-2010 BMW X3 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
Signs the flex joint may need replacing include vibration or shudder on acceleration, a clunk when engaging the driveline, and visible cracking or separation of the rubber. Diagnose the source of any driveline vibration before replacing.
