Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End P/N:101-8511
Tighten up your steering response with the Beck/Arnley Steering Tie Rod End 101-6878, a front outer tie rod end that links the steering system to the wheel so driver inputs translate into precise wheel movement. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2007 BMW 525XI, 2010 BMW 528I XDRIVE, 2008 BMW 528XI, 2006-2007 BMW 530XI, 2009-2010 BMW 535I XDRIVE, and 2008 BMW 535XI (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment).
A worn tie rod end may show up as loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or a clunk when turning. If a failed front outer tie rod end is the cause, this part replaces it. Sold individually; tie rod ends install as left/right pairs, so consider replacing both sides for balanced steering, and have the alignment set afterward.

Which vehicles does it fit?

Does it come pre-greased?
Yes. The ball joint arrives pre-greased and ready to install, and it's coated or plated for corrosion protection.
How is it installed?
An easy-access wrench flat lets you use a socket for installation and removal. Have a wheel alignment performed afterward, and consult the service information for correct fasteners and torque.
Should I replace both sides at once?
It's sold individually. Since tie rod ends work as a left/right pair, many people replace both sides together for balanced, even steering.
