Keep your steering tight and responsive with the Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End 101-4939 (also written 1014939), the front left outer tie rod end that links the steering to the front wheel and passes your input from the linkage to the steering knuckle. It drops in as a direct replacement for the 1992-1999 BMW 318I and 318IS, 1995-1999 BMW 318TI, 1992-1995 BMW 320I, 1998-1999 BMW 323I and 323IS, 1992-1995 BMW 325I and 325IS, 1996-1998 BMW 328I, 1996-1999 BMW 328IS, 1995-1999 BMW M3, and 1996-2002 BMW Z3 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
Worn tie rod ends can show up as loose or wandering steering, a clunk when turning, or uneven tire wear; if the original outer tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. This is the front left outer position — order the matching side(s) your vehicle needs.
