Customer States I have a noise from the front left.... 😅

This seems to be one of the defects of BMW if I’m right:

[@NOTSOSLIMJIM]

It's not even the ujoint, it's the rubber isolator that goes between them.

[@jaschalindesmith9525]

You're referring to a Guibo. Those are used on the rear shaft. This is the front shaft on an all wheel drive

[@NOTSOSLIMJIM]

@@jaschalindesmith9525 they are used on both. My X5 has them on both front and rear.

[@jaschalindesmith9525]

@NOTSOSLIMJIM this one happens to be ujoint, at least at the front. I didn't look at the rear portion. I have changed plenty of guibos in my career and know the difference.

[@NOTSOSLIMJIM]

@@jaschalindesmith9525 odd. That is normally not the failure point on these driveshafts. Also, the majority of them are not serviceable.

[@jaschalindesmith9525]

@NOTSOSLIMJIM oh I agree, it's probably a non serviceable joint lol

[@impactodelsurenterprise2440]

What is the oil pan made of pot metal?

[@jaschalindesmith9525]

Lol, no it's aluminum.
