    lock plate for front axle iX?

    Help please! I just put sport springs on my iX and got everything buttoned back up except for new lock plates on the collar nuts up front. RealOEM is telling me that these plates are same front and rear (part #33411124945.) I've searched but can't find specific info on this. Can someone tell me if this is correct? Thank you!

      as far as I know, realoem knows all things!. The iX front axle is just like the regular e30 rear axle so I think the lock plates are the same

      No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.

        Dont bother! leave them off. They go on with so much torque that they aren't going to back off on you. Just don't put them on like a girl and you'll be fine.

          Yeah...torqued to 250 on the wrench plus some extra juice with a breaker bar. I don't think they're going anywhere, but I'm OCD about some things. Thanks guys!

            Haven't used them in the 10 years I've had mine. I have a friend who's been a BMW mechanic since ix's were new and he doesn't use them either. FWIW.

            Torque them up real good and use a dab of copper anti-seize. They aren't going anywhere.
