Dorman - OE Solutions Drive Shaft P/N:986-986
Dorman 986-299 rear drive shaft for the 2010-2012 BMW 550i GT and other vehicles carries engine torque back to the rear axle. This two-piece steel assembly comes with its U-joints.
A worn drive shaft can show up as vibration that builds with speed, a clunk when you accelerate or shift, or play at the joints. Out-of-balance tires, a worn rear differential or worn transmission or engine mounts can be behind those signs too, so find the cause before buying a replacement.
This rear drive shaft is a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2012 BMW 550i GT and the 2009-2012 BMW 750i. The listing is one shaft, and each of those cars needs a single rear shaft running toward the rear axle.
