Left Front Driveshaft for BYD e3, OE 12411519-00

The left, at the front. Sides are taken from the driver's seat facing forward, so on a right-hand drive car this is the shaft on the passenger side. The opposite hand is a separate listing with its own OE number, so one will not stand in for the other. Before ordering, get the car raised and read any marking on the shaft you are removing, then check it against 12411519-00 shown on this page. If nothing on the old shaft is legible, note which side it came from and work through the fitment table.

Yes. The same component appears under more than one number depending on whose catalogue you are reading, so a quote carrying that reference is pointing at this item. Give whichever number you have, or send a photograph of the old part and its label through the quote route, if you want it confirmed before ordering. Where the number in front of you matches neither the OE nor the alternative on this page, send it through the quote route instead of ordering on the description alone.

The delivery time is 8 to 28 days, from order to door. A driveshaft job usually means the car is standing, so if you are working to the longer route it is worth getting the order in before the garage slot is booked. Check the shaft over on arrival and well before the appointment, not on the ramp. The shipping cost for your country is shown on this page and confirmed at checkout before you pay.

The packaging details are shown on this page. Expect it to need signing for and somebody able to lift it. Have a spot ready that is not in the middle of a walkway, because a shaft in a carton is awkward to shift once set down. Check the packaging for damage while the driver is present and note anything before signing.

Metal is the material for this shaft. That is part of why it should be handled with some care once it arrives. Keep it in its packing until it is going on the car, and support it along its length instead of picking it up by one end while it is still boxed. Nothing about coatings or the joints is described here, so use the images and the fitment table on this page for anything the material does not cover.

No. Only the Original/Genuine BYD shaft is sourced against OE 12411519-00, so this page carries a single version and not two tiers. No Aftermarket equivalent has been taken into the catalogue against this reference, which is the whole reason there is one option here and not a choice. The price you can see on this page belongs to that version. If you would like us to check whether an equivalent can be sourced, send the OE number with your vehicle details through the quote route before ordering.
