Long Shaft Coupling

[atzi]

What happens when long shaft coupling is malfunction? Thank you.

 

[wingzee]

Vibration can be felt during acceleration/driving normally.

Thank you wingzee. Is it the car can't move if the coupling damage? How about the price? TQ

 

[jeffreyewe]

coupling should be around 120-150 inclusive of labour.

Instead of replace the coupling, better get a good halfcut longshaft.

Why should the long shaft be changed when the simplest thing to do is to rectify the couplings which are merely made from rubber?

Check the guibo/flex disk or coupling. Got my coupling replaced at 80 bucks excluding workmanship.

So sorry for my very silly mistake. I'm referring to the long shaft u joint, actually.
To bro atzi, please check further in this thread http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/forums/showthread.php?10034-Long-Shaft-Balancing-318i&.

Thank you all. Btw, I asked for the price at one bmw parts shop and the price for the coupling is RM90. Any suggestion?

 

[jeffreyewe]

price is OK, some places sell rm85 some places sell rm90. Most mechs will charge rm30-rm50 for labour.

 

[wingzee]

Atzi, try calling Ah Fai of Bomin Auto. Should be RM80

 

[atzi]

wingzee, you mean Bomin Auto Trading Sdn Bhd at Jln Ipoh?

 

[wingzee]

Yes bro. Bomin Jln Ipoh
