Thanks, was looking for this for ages, it was very helpful. I need to change the seals in the supporting bracket. Have you got another advice about how you put in the shaft seal? Do you happen to know the torque spec on refitting?
@Motorcarnut

Glad it helped, I don’t have the specs off hand , just look them up online. You need a seal puller if you can’t get it out and tap the new one in evenly not to distort the seal and then have it to leak.
I got some funny knocking sound from underneath my x3 when accelerating at low speed. Usually last like 1 seconds and happens more often when turn and accelerate. I replaced my front drive shaft and center support bearing not long time ago and. So, I am assuming it’s the CV joint here. Can I ask what do you think about it here? Before I go order the parts?

The driveshaft and center support bearing wouldn’t make noise while turning. It’s the cv joints especially if they are leaking grease.
Hi, i have 270 000 km and vibration noise for few seconds , when the car is staying and I am trying to move away , but not always, could it be that the right shat is having vibration because of some bearing damage, no noise when driving available.

Can be, also something in the steering and suspension can be loose. Make sure tires are wearing evenly as well.
This is great but I want to come install some lights in your shop!! It's dark in there

Love your channel!!! Any tips on installing the new axle? What should you tap on to make sure it’s seated properly at the differential and the wheel? Thanks!
@Motorcarnut
Жыл бұрын
Thank you! Just grab the end near the wheel after you slip the other end in the differential and yank it towards the diff and it should just slide in. The other end has no shaft and is held in with the axle bolt. Remember that bolt has to have a lot of torque so when the wheel is on the ground torque the bolt to 155 ft lbs or else you can destroy the axle and hub from coming loose and stripping it.
