About this part
The axle shaft on your 5 Series E39 carries power from the gearbox or differential to the wheel while taking up steering and suspension movement. Clicking when turning, vibration under acceleration or a torn boot all call for replacement.
Frequently asked questions
What should I check when buying an axle shaft for the BMW 5 Series?
Compare side, length, spline count and whether the shaft on your 5 Series E39 carries an ABS ring. Within one series those dimensions change with engine and gearbox, so the model year alone is not enough to pick by.
Complete shaft or just the joint and boot?
If only the boot has split and the joint still has no play, a boot kit with fresh grease is enough. Once dirt has entered or the joint clicks audibly, a complete shaft usually costs less than the joint plus the labour.
