If you drive a BMW with an N54, N55, or S55 engine, upgrading your vehicle’s crank hub can be worthwhile. You may have heard about stock crank hubs slipping under higher load, RPMs, or frequent shifting. Should that happen, it can damage the hub, the crankshaft, and other critical internal components.
This is where a spline lock crank hub fix comes in handy. You can find an N54, N55, and S55 crank hub solution designed to mitigate common concerns of the stock design. But what specifically makes spline lock technology the standout upgrade you should choose?
A Precise Install
There are aftermarket crank hub solutions that require a surprising amount of work to install. This can include drilling, pinning, and welding. This means, once this type of solution is installed, it’s installed for good.
On the other hand, a spline lock N54, N55, and S55 crank hub upgrade is designed and manufactured to slide and lock into the crankshaft without drilling, pinning, or welding. This means if you need to reinstall the stock hub for any reason, you can. Plus, it streamlines the install process overall.
Precision Engineered to Prevent Slipping
Because the spline lock crank hub is specifically engineered to lock into the crankshaft, it creates a positive lock within the overall mechanism. This feature helps eliminate slipping by improving the mechanical security of the timing interface, making it a reliable option.
When the crank hub slips, it has a ripple effect on the rest of the engine. It can damage other components or worse. In other words, a slip can have costly consequences. By replacing your car’s stock hub with the spline lock upgrade, you don’t have to worry about this failure risk.
Built for High-Performance Driving
A spline lock crank hub is a reliable option for high-performance driving, higher RPMs, and frequent shifts. When you push the limits of your BMW, having a crank hub you can count on makes a significant difference.
If you swap the stock hub for an upgraded spline lock N54, N55, S55 crank hub, consider getting it installed at a professional shop that knows how to do it properly. Improper installation could lead to engine damage, so factory timing tools can make sure everything is spot on.
