Product Information

Connects the steering gear to the outer tie rods

Your BMW's center drag link or steering center link connects to the steering gearbox to the outer tie rods. With age and high mileage, the center drag link can develop play in the ball joints which attach to the steering gear and idler arm. In addition, the inner tie rods which are part of the drag link can also develop play. Any play in the center link can cause steering feel loss as well as cause issues with alignment. We recommend regular inspection of this component.

Steering Center Link

The center link acts as a connecting rod between the steering gearbox's pitman arm and the tie rods, allowing the wheels to turn in response to steering wheel movement. Over time, the bushings within the center link can wear out, causing excessive play and looseness in the steering system.

Steering Center Link Failure Symptoms
  • Loose Steering Feel: Noticeable play or slack in the steering wheel, especially when turning
  • Clunking Noises: A knocking or clunking sound when turning the steering wheel, particularly at low speeds
  • Vehicle Pulling to One Side: Car drifting or pulling noticeably to one side while driving straight

Fit great. Steering is tight again. Replaced along with struts, tie rods, idler arm, control arm bushing, and tension strut bushing. Car drives like new.

Does the Job
Chasing a front-end wobble in my '99 740iL, I replaced control arms, which helped, but didn't eliminate the issue. While changing a tire one day, I noticed some wiggle, and traced it to the center link. Ordered this, along with a new idler arm and new tie rod ends. Installation was fairly simple, although removing it from the Pitman arm required a smaller puller than expected. I threaded the new tie rod ends onto this center link before installation back in the vehicle, and noticed that one end link was much hard to move around than the other, though the looser side didn't have any slop. I'm not sure if this is normal, or if it'll wear out on that side sooner than the other side, but time will tell. With this and the tie rod ends, the wobble is essentially eliminated. Good product at a good price.
