Product Information

A common source of steering play and poor steering feel

Your BMW's outer tie rod, or tie rod end, is a common source of steering play and slop. With age the outer ball joint which is connected to the wheel spindle can develop play. When this occurs the tie rod end cannon accurately duplicate steering movement. Also, we see higher mileage ball joint rubber boots split causing contamination of the ball joint resulting in failure. We recommend regular inspection of this component and recommend replacing tie rod ends in pairs for best performance and service life.

Steering Tie Rod End

The tie rods of your vehicle play a critical role as they're the link between the power steering rack and pinion and the wheel spindle. Tie rod ends contain ball joints that tend to wear out over time due to constant wear and tear. When the ball joints within the tie rod wear out, it allows for play within the wheels which can throw off your alignment and cause uneven tire wear. Its always encouraged to check your tie rod ends for play as well as tires for uneven wear at every service interval. When replacing worn tie rod ends its always recommend to replace them in pairs as well as to perform an alignment.

Steering Tie Rod End Failure Symptoms
  • Uneven tire wear
  • Play in wheels
  • Pulling condition when driving
  • Sloppy steering

No more shimmy
Have a 2001 540i/6. The front was shimmying hard under braking and normal driving. Bad brakes and a bad ball joint. Replaced both. No more shimmy!
