{"product_id":"front-axle-shaft-56","title":"Front Axle Shaft","description":"The BMW 31607505200 is an OEM GKN Loebro axle shaft, serving as a direct replacement for the front right output shaft on select BMW E46 models. It is compatible with BMW 325xi and 330xi Sedan and Wagon models produced between 2001 and 2005, featuring either automatic or manual AWD transmissions with the M54 L6 engine (2.5L for 325xi, 3.0L for 330xi).\n\nCV axle assemblies are critical components that transmit power to the wheels while allowing for articulation. Failure symptoms often include clicking or popping noises during turns, vibrations while driving, and grease leaks from torn axle boots. GKN Driveline is recognized as an OEM supplier for BMW, ensuring that this axle shaft meets original equipment quality standards. The unit measures 926mm and is manufactured in Spain.\n\nThis axle shaft is a direct replacement for BMW part numbers 31607505200 and 31607502732. Some users have noted that the included axle nut requires a 32mm 12-point socket, whereas the OEM nut typically uses a 36mm socket. Additionally, the Bentley manual specifies a torque of 310 ft-lbs for the axle nut, which may exceed the capacity of some consumer torque wrenches, and recommends staking the nut after torquing.","brand":"BMW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52687180300600,"sku":"31607505200","price":191.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/660187895.jpg?v=1784881122","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/front-axle-shaft-56","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
