TrakMotive BM-86042 front left CV axle shaft for the 2020-2023 BMW 228i xDrive Gran Coupe and other vehicles carries drive torque to the wheel. This TrakMotive CV axle has a joint at each end, so the shaft keeps turning as the suspension moves and the wheel steers.
A clicking or popping sound in turns, vibration under acceleration, or grease thrown from a torn boot can mean an axle is worn. These signs alone do not prove the axle is the problem, since a worn wheel bearing can make a similar noise. Axles are normally swapped as a front pair; this listing is a single axle, and the other side is ordered separately.
The vehicles it fits include the 2020-2023 BMW M235i xDrive Gran Coupe and the 2019-2023 BMW X2.
