BMW 318ti Intermediate Shaft

The BMW 318ti Intermediate Shaft provides a direct and immediate response between the wheel and the gearbox with complete integrity. Owners appreciate how the Intermediate Shaft keeps steering play free and translates small hand movements into an instant response on the road. The Intermediate Shaft has proven itself during the first 1994-1998 runs with the 1.8L M42 and 1.9L M44 engines, and subsequently on the 2001-2004 cars with the 2.0L N42 or N46 units. Whether the driver is running through a 5-speed manual or an automatic, this item is a solid link. The precision-machined splines fit neatly into the steering gearbox of your BMW and trim any excess play. Less wasted motion because of that means extra efficiency. And that efficiency helps maintain safety since it won't let the wheel suddenly play when cornering heavily. According to the owners, the operation of the Intermediate Shaft is excellent as it allows stable motorway tracking and quick lane changes in the city. In contrast to more weighty linkages, the Intermediate Shaft maintains a light-weight disposition which helps keep the 318ti's well balanced 51 to 49 weight distribution without adding unwanted weight to the nose. Because the BMW 318ti's rear suspension was finished with durable joints sealed against dirt and muck, it seldom requires any attention. This allows one to make happy revs from this enthusiastic character that sets the BMW 318ti apart from the rest of the class. The Intermediate Shaft, when applied with normal suspension components, is also capable of delivering long-term reliable performance over many thousand kilometers before any inspection is needed. Enthusiasts notice that the Intermediate Shaft even damps minor vibration to keep the steering wheel calm at idle and enhance the sure-footed feel expected of a BMW sports hatch. In summary, the part delivers a combination of strength, lightness and precision that keeps all 318ti steers feeling factory fresh. That is why BMW lists the part as a core safety element throughout the 318ti range.
