What this part does
The steering shaft forms the vital mechanical link between the steering column inside the cabin and the steering rack mounted on the subframe. It transfers the rotational input from the driver directly to the steering mechanism. Because the rack and the steering column sit at different angles, this shaft uses integrated universal joints to route the steering force smoothly. When the bearings within these joints dry out or wear down, the vehicle typically develops a knocking or clunking noise over uneven pavement, a stiff or binding sensation when turning, or excessive free play in the steering wheel.

Before you order
Verify your original stamped part number matches exactly. All-wheel drive (xDrive) and rear-wheel drive variants of the BMW 7 Series use completely different front subframes and steering rack placements, meaning their steering shafts are not interchangeable. When installing this component, the steering wheel and the front wheels must be locked in the dead-center position to prevent catastrophic damage to the steering column clock spring.
