Help keep your BMW's steering tight and true with the Beck/Arnley tie rod end 101-6878 (also written 1016878), a front outer steering tie rod end that links the steering to the wheel and lets you dial in accurate toe. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for many BMW models, among them the 2010 BMW 528i xDrive, 2009-2010 BMW 535i xDrive and 2008 BMW 528xi — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
- Matches OE form, fit and function: designed as a direct replacement for the original equipment application.
- Corrosion protection: coated or plated to resist rust.
- Pre-greased ball joint: the ball joint arrives pre-greased.
- Easy installation: an easy-access wrench flat lets you use a socket for installation and removal, and it features a full ball stud.
Worn tie rod ends can show up as loose or wandering steering, uneven or accelerated tire wear, or a clunk when turning; if a failed tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. Have the front end aligned after installation.
