Problematic situations regarding front-wheel drive are not new for most owners of the BMW X5 E53; the most discussed issue is the wear of the driveshaft spline joints. They can be worn due to increased load, corrosive destruction or excess moisture. Besides purchasing a new cardan, there is an alternative solution.

For BMW X5 E53 models, a front driveshaft spacer can successfully delay this problem. This approach is not a panacea, but it can delay the fatal moment. There is time to plan next steps. During this preventative period, the cardan fully copes with the load. The spacer is reliable and effective, made of aluminum, fastened with extended bolts, used on Restayl and Pre-Restayl.

It works as follows. The design feature of the front driveshaft splines in the factory configuration does not allow productive use of the entire splined part; about 1 cm remains unused, which makes it possible to successfully install a front driveshaft spacer on the BMW E53. It deepens the cardan into part of the flange, increasing the spline connection due to the unworn section. The solution is extremely simple, but practical.
