  • Part: Dorman 986-321 drive shaft
  • Fits: 2011-2013 BMW 535i

  • Condition: New

A vibration that builds with road speed, or a clunk when shifting or accelerating, can point to a worn U-joint or an out-of-balance shaft. Before you replace the shaft, rule out unbalanced wheels or tires and a worn rear axle component, since either can produce a similar vibration.
