BMW E36 E30 E34 E32 type 188 5mm spacer axle shaft spacers

Axle Shaft Spacers for BMW E36 – TYPE 188 Large Head

Optimize your drivetrain performance with our precision-engineered axle shaft spacers, specifically designed for BMW E36 models equipped with a TYPE 188 differential (for TYPE 168, see our other listings).

The BMW E36 is a popular platform for various motorsport builds, including drift and track applications. However, lowering the suspension and increasing camber can negatively affect axle shaft geometry, placing undue stress on the joints.

Why Use Axle Shaft Spacers?

These spacers help restore optimal axle shaft alignment by compensating for the change in geometry caused by lowering. This reduces stress on the CV joints, improving both durability and drivetrain efficiency.

Key Features:

Designed for TYPE 188 large-head differential

Compatible with BMW E36 platforms

Made from 5mm thick S355-grade steel – strong, durable, and built to withstand motorsport demands

Laser-cut for precision and galvanized for corrosion resistance

No bolt replacement needed for single spacer use – multiple spacers may require longer bolts

Installation Notes:

To determine the correct spacer thickness, disconnect the axle shaft from the differential flange and measure the gap while the vehicle is on its wheels. This ensures accurate and reliable results.

Maintain drivetrain performance and reliability with this simple yet effective solution for your modified BMW E36.
