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 cannot 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

Fit and Functions Properly
While replacing struts on my E39 540i, I noticed the rubber boots on my tie rod ends were slightly torn, so I purchase this and the matching item for the other side and installed them. Installation was easy, and everything fit perfectly. There was no noticeable performance improvement, as I believe I caught the issue before the ball joints actually wore, but I appreciate the peace of mind knowing that new, good quality tie rod ends are keeping my car in line. I've even done a couple of track days with them installed, and they seem to be holding up just fine.

Great product
Bit the bullet and replaced the upper lower control arms/thrust arms and tie rod ends on my 100k mi 540i. The difference is unbelievable. Don't put it off, you deserve to know how much better your car can feel/handle.
