BMW 3 Series E30 E36 E46 E90 E91 E92 E93 / Z Series E85 Steel Driveshaft Spacer Kit 188 Version 1986 - 2012

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

Contents:

• 2x 6mm Driveshaft Spacers
• 1x Set of Extension Bolts

Benefits:

• Prevents premature inboard joint wear caused by incorrect driveshaft angle on lowered vehicles
• Restores factory driveshaft positioning after suspension modification or ride height reduction
• Galvanized steel construction withstands underbody exposure and harsh driving conditions
• Cost-effective solution to protect axle components and extend drivetrain service life

Installation Notes:

• Compatible with 188 version differentials only – will not fit 168 version or 210 version differentials
• If clearance between the half shaft and flange is excessive, two spacers per side may be used
• If the axle is already damaged or beyond mechanical limits, noise, binding, or vibration may persist – axle replacement is recommended in such cases
• If unsure about your differential version, contact our team before ordering

Warranty:

• 12-month standard warranty from date of purchase
• Contact our support team for assistance with any issues
