J.C. Whitney RB28160007 Rear CV Axle Assembly Passenger Side Automatic Transmission

The J.C. Whitney RB28160007 is an OEM-replacement rear CV axle assembly designed for the right-hand (passenger) side of the BMW 3 Series (E46 chassis, 1999–2006) equipped with an automatic transmission. This complete half-shaft assembly restores proper power transfer from the differential to the rear wheel, replacing a worn, clicking, or leaking original unit with a ready-to-install component engineered to OEM fit and function standards.

Key Features:

• OEM-replacement design — engineered to match original equipment specifications for a precise, hassle-free installation
• Complete assembly — includes inner and outer CV joints pre-packed with grease, so no additional components are required
• Pneumatically crimped boot clamps — factory-style crimping prevents grease leakage and extends boot life
• High-temperature moly grease — pre-filled at the CV joints to reduce friction and heat buildup under load
• Protective coating — proprietary anti-corrosion coating applied to metal components to resist rust and environmental wear
• Right-hand (passenger) side fitment — specific to the rear passenger-side position; verify transmission type (automatic) before ordering
• 1-Year unlimited-mileage warranty — backed by J.C. Whitney's standard replacement parts warranty

J.C. Whitney CV axle assemblies arrive fully assembled and ready to install, eliminating the need for separate boot kits or joint packing. This unit is a direct replacement for the BMW E46 3 Series rear passenger-side axle shaft on automatic transmission models, making it suitable for 325i, 325ci, 328i, 330i, 330ci, and related variants within the applicable model year range.
