Frequently Asked Questions
A highly recommended drivetrain upgrade for any lowered BMW E30, E36, E46, or E9X. When lowering these platforms, the driveshaft angle requires correction due to suspension geometry changes. Without intervention, unwanted clearance develops between the driveshaft roller and spider, causing the inboard joint to wear unevenly over time. These 6mm steel half shaft spacers restore correct driveshaft positioning, protect the axle joints, and help maintain smooth, reliable drivetrain operation on modified or lowered vehicles.
Features:
- 6mm high-quality steel construction for maximum strength and long-term durability
- Laser cut for high dimensional accuracy and a precise, rattle-free fit
- Galvanized surface finish for corrosion and abrasion resistance
- Corrects axle shaft angle on lowered suspensions, reducing wear on ball joints and inboard joints
- Professionally designed for modified and lowered suspension setups to restore correct drivetrain geometry
