Transfer Case/Drive Shaft flawed

My understanding is that having mismatched tires front/rear, or driving with significantly different tire pressures front/rear, both of which cause a relative difference in tire rotations, is what stresses the splines and causes the damage you have. There are lots of X5s that have never had front driveline issues.

Check on bimmerboard and roadfly, I seem to recall people complaining about it and they found someone (company) that made longer ones, in Texas maybe?

i read a thread here a couple of weeks ago
i thought i had saved it on my pc but can`t locate it right now if you search then you will see pics of the guy cutting the splined end from propshaft then he flips it to get good splines to enter transfer case i think he also needed to weld in a spacer so as the splined shaft could contact good splines in output shaft. propshaft needs to be balanced once repaired |

I'm hoping to be able to help you out, I'm getting close to having the redesigned parts to repair the front shafts on an exchange basis. As in the other post it will save you the cost of the transfercase although you will still have to remove/slide back the case to install the new shaft because of the new longer splines. I'm expecting to hear from the engineer any day on when I'll get the new splines. I've been having trouble getting the splines cut because they are not a standard size. I will post as soon as they are available. Thanks to joe v for being so patient, and would the guy from Pa. please call or pm me your number, my phone didnt save it for some reason. Also, if this takes off, I'd like to talk about sponsoring the site. Thanks, Tom Gottschalk 262-749-0689.
