Compatible BMW Models:

  • 3 Series: E21 (big case), E30, E36
  • 5 Series: E28, E34
  • 7 Series: E23, E32, E38 (early models)

Symptoms Indicating Bearing Replacement: A significant noise from the differential during acceleration and deceleration is a primary indicator. To distinguish this from wheel bearing noise, perform a maneuver similar to warming tires for a race. Continuous noise suggests the necessity for differential bearing replacement.

  • Small pinion bearing
  • Large pinion bearing
