Dorman - OE Solutions Drive Shaft P/N:966-418
Dorman 966-423 rear drive shaft for the 2017-2021 BMW 230i xDrive carries engine torque from the transmission toward the rear axle. This Dorman drive shaft is built as a two-piece steel assembly.
A worn drive shaft can show up as vibration that grows with speed, a clunk when you shift or accelerate, or grease flung from a joint. Before replacing it, look the tires over for uneven wear with the engine off, because wheel balance and worn mounts can cause similar vibration; a shop can inspect the shaft on a lift. If the shaft is at fault, this assembly replaces it.
This rear drive shaft fits the 2017-2021 BMW 230i xDrive, and the car takes one, at the rear.
