Driveshaft To Differential Bolts **waiting On Order**


bento

Recommended Posts

Anyone have some of these laying around? They're a special M10 bolt with one edge of an otherwise circular head shaved down for an interference fit with the driveshaft. I need all four.

I have some on order but they are coming from BMW's main warehouse on the east coast and are taking forever.

New or used would be fine. If you have a parts car, I'm happy to remove them myself as well.

I'm in North King county but will travel a bit to get my hands on them this weekend.

Car is off the road until I find some. A PO replaced them with much smaller SAE bolts and two of four were missing when I happened to look under the car. The remaining two were only finger tight. There was a horrible vibration coming from the back of my car. I'm hoping getting the right bolts installed and tight will address it.

Thanks in advance.

No longer needed. Pulled the brake master cylinder to start on a brake rebuild while waiting on these bolts. Naturally, the booster was full of brake fluid so the car is down for two weeks while Ireland rebuilds the booster.

Yeah. It sounded like you were a busy guy when I picked up that shorty console and dome light from your CL listing over the summer.

Not sure if you made the connection. I was driving a red Audi A3. I had the advantage of seeing your car in person and in several photos you've posted here. The diesel truck in your signature was a dead giveaway too, I suppose. :)

Made the connection now! Yah, that old chev of mine just nails it to me. It was I think my busiest summer yet! Glad that console went to a good home though! Better in your car than collecting dust in my barn :)

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
