CV joint not available for EC version E53?
Hi all! Have not been in this forum for quite a while. Wish everyone of you stays healthy in such pandemic.
My E53 X5 is an EC version RHD car. Last week the front right CV joint boot was broken and I felt vibration when turning to left, also felt slightly push every time I slowly stop the car (when the car almost stops). I had my car check by BMW service center and they told me that the CV joint was failed and needed to renew the whole front right output shaft. I checked ETK and found that there was a part called CV joint outer with part number 31607586433 in USA version E53 available but not available in EC version. My question is can I purchase the CV joint only available for USA version for my EC RHD version E53? If it is workable, I can save lot of money for the 16-year-old truck. Thanks for help!
