Cv joint
 

Bin doing a bit of research, does anybody know if this porche cv is the same as our cars. part number. 911 332 03001 , as far as I know bmw don't sell inner drive shaft cv joints as a separate part , unless someone knows differently,

Hi Chad,

Sorry i cannot help you on this matter.. but i never heard that the porsche part is the same as ours. Maybe ask a competent parts guy at your local dealer, perhaps he can help you out.

You can use the "attach files" option on the reply window or you can upload the picture to an image hoster of your choice and link to it using the [IMG]YOUR URL TO THE IMAGE[/IMG] tags.

Does the picture help, no of splines on cv joint As comparing to BMW one if any body got one lying about .

I've been trying to find out more about this Porsche part inner cv joint, as a direct swop for csl one. Has anybody tried it ? I believe you can get inner joint but nothing confirmed , anybody got access to Porsche parts price list and if available?

If of interest to anybody,took delivery of these today, only ordered yesterday :thumbs: £31 for both sides inner cv joints not got a clue on quality But at that price :smokin:

So the Porsche part wasn’t right?? Be interested to find out for sure as new axles are quite expensive. Shame that GKN is forbidden from supplying the correct part for rebuild.

Hi I never got hold of a porche one, so still not sure on that cv joints, personally I don’t know anybody with access to parts to confirm, not without buying one but still interested in this myself

If this helps this part fits these porches £65 ,possibly better price can be found , would need this part in my hand to confirm they fit.

Lots available if you use part numbers. 911 33292301 these seem to measure up the same as the part I’ve received , lots of different brands

Porche part looks to measure up same size as bmw cv part. Pic of bmw pattern replacement, and porche gkn part measurements same number of splines etc.

Spotted these - can’t tell what it is but I have a feeling that it must perhaps be the Porsche part also.

That one looks to be the same as the £16 cv’s I bought, so wouldn’t pay that price, the gkn porche 91133292301. Part looks to me same as what bmw use on our shafts, so possibly better quality.I’ve seen these for £65 ,, I will probably send for some of these to check out :thumbs: Also the 91133303001 part as in other post i think is the old part number

This looks interesting I’ve not seen outer cv anywhere before for m3 before,

Seems the outer cv joint is a none starter,, emailed shaftec regarding outer cv joint ,,these are not available, And compleat drive shafts are not available at the moment,.. so today’s job was just repack the outer cv ,with cv grease for now,

Nice day so thought I’d have some fun,, passenger side drive shaft out ready to repack outside cv joint , but this one was such a pig to get out,Had to take arm off , so while it off clean things up. Pop in new bearing and fit new discs covers, all good fun:smokin: have to say,not easy to get the things out...... on the subject drive shafts cv etc,, these shafts have covered 70k and do have some play now , any of you chaps fitted new shafts , and did you notice any difference?? as in did the things/car feel tighter in the driving feel !!!

While the trailing arm is off, what’s the view on the arms rubber bushes,,std or something different aftermarket,??? the std ones really are quite soft , these on mine are about four years old, and are ok condition really. I’m going to fit new ones anyway, But possibly open to aftermarket what’s your views chaps :smt055

If of any interest to diy’s this I found the best way to pull the drive flange hub out of bearings 5x 100 mm bolts. 17mm heads ,they fit perfectly to draw out and split the bearing. Yep bmw tool better but not got one.. then immersion heaters box spanner then perfect fit to draw out rest of bearing out of the trailing arm housing , :thumbs:

New bearings fitted,and gone for standard oem rubber bushes, new bush carrier housing brackets,,all repainted ready to go back in ,..:smt055

A few measurements of outer cv joints ,splines side of joint, if anybody is looking for alternative to unavailable bmw outer joint,,unfortunately none of drive shaft bearing end, hopefully might help if anybody look for a cheaper home rebuild..

Few more pictures measurements,, might help if anybody has any idea of a possible alternative outer cv joint

All coming back together now , new bearings. New disc back plates. Possibly do the break hoses as I’ve got some new to be fitted,, new disc’s all round , don’t they just look good,, shame to use um:whistle:

Great job & interesting. Keep the posts coming.

Don't know how you do it as I can't change a light bulb

hi NZ m3 done a bit more searching regarding outer cv joint also ,, From what I can see from measurements etc looks the same as what fitted on drive shafts,hopefully can add some information soon :smokin: for some reason I can’t upload any pictures hopefully will update this soon as I’m having them shipped over.

hi Chad

did you find any alternatives to these ?

Thanks
