Steer with confidence and take up the slack in loose steering with the Beck/Arnley tie rod end, MPN 101-5525. This is the front right outer tie rod end, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-2003 BMW 540i and 2000-2003 BMW M5 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. It connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transmitting steering input to the wheel while allowing for normal suspension travel.
Matches OE form, fit and function: designed as a direct replacement for the original equipment application.
Coated or plated for corrosion protection: the finish helps resist rust.
Pre-greased ball joint: the ball joint comes greased and ready to install.
Easy-access wrench flat: lets you use a socket for simpler installation and removal, paired with a full ball stud.
Play or looseness in the joint, wandering or loose steering, clunking, and uneven front tire wear are signs a tie rod end may need replacing. If a worn front right outer tie rod end is the cause, this Beck/Arnley steering tie rod end replaces it; have the vehicle aligned afterward.
