Tighten up loose, wandering steering with the Beck/Arnley Steering Center Link 101-6743. This front steering-linkage component ties the pitman arm and idler arm together and relays your steering input to the tie rods, keeping the wheels aimed where you point them. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-2003 BMW 540I and the 2000-2003 BMW M5 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications.
Worn steering-linkage joints can show up as excess play in the wheel, a wandering feel, uneven tire wear, or a clunk when turning. If a failed center link is the cause, this replaces it — diagnose the linkage first, since these symptoms can have other sources.
