CV Joint for BMW X5: Anodised Aluminium
This cv joint for the BMW X5 is specified around anodised aluminium, which decides how it behaves in service far more than the part name does. We build to a written specification — base material, dimensions, finish and packing — and hold that specification on file so every reorder reproduces the approved piece.
The usual reason a programme changes supplier is not unit price. It is packing that arrived crushed at the port, or packing that arrived crushed at the port. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.

Fitment notes
Keep the old part until the new one is on the bench. Comparing them side by side settles questions a photograph never will.

Quality and packing
- In-line inspection with AQL 1.5 sampling on every lot.

- Carton marking and barcode to your specification.
- Golden sample retained at the factory as the reorder reference.
Questions buyers ask
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the SGS-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. SGS documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 7 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
