Description

Help keep front-end steering response tight with the Delphi Steering Idler Arm Bushing (MPN TD486W), a direct-fit replacement for the front steering linkage on the listed applications. It fits a wide range of BMW sedans and coupes, among them the 1997-2001 BMW 740i, 1997-2003 BMW 540i and 1989-1995 BMW 525i. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine-level fitment. This steering idler arm bushing cushions the idler arm at its front mounting point, helping locate the steering linkage and dampen road input. When the original bushing hardens, cracks, or wears, you may notice loose or vague steering, wander, or a knock from the front steering — if a worn idler arm bushing is the cause, this replaces it.

Built to OE standards: Delphi applies its OE steering expertise to the aftermarket, with dimensional and material analysis for close compatibility between the OE and replacement part.
Validated to the extreme: tested below -40°C and above 120°C and exposed to 720 hours of salt spray.
Manufactured for consistent life to help reduce noise and vibration.
