Replacing the Driveshaft Support

Model: BMW X3 MK 1, E83 - Years 2003-2010
Part: Bushings

To replace the driveshaft support, lift the vehicle using a lift, as you will need to lower the exhaust to remove the heat shield located between the exhaust and the vehicle's floor. At this point, remove the connecting bolts from the driveshaft flange and slide out the driveshaft to take off the snap ring and disassemble the support. Then, install the new support, insert the snap ring, and before reinstalling the driveshaft, consider whether to also replace the rubber damper attached to the flange.
