rear output shafts ?
« on: January 04, 2012, 07:31:08 AM »
My right output shaft is beat. Clicks and makes all kinds of noise... almost thought it was the driveshaft center support bearing at first. It's loud but I don't feel the driveshaft banging on the floor. I'm pretty positive its the output shaft so my question is, can the output shaft for '87 325e be used in my m42 e30? I have a crashed 325e and the rear is in good shape. Both cars are manual and have ABS so I figured I should be able to swap the shafts out. When I look up the two cars on realoem, I get two different part numbers though.

318#
33211226901

325#
33211225893

Appreciate the input. Thanks
