Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA1442
Tighten up loose, wandering steering with the Delphi tie rod end (MPN TA1288), an inner steering tie rod end that links the steering to the wheel and helps keep your toe alignment true. It fits a range of BMW models, including the 1984-1985 and 1992-1994 318I, 1991 318IS, 1992-1994 320I, 1986-1988 325, 1984-1987 325E, 1986-1987 325ES, 1987-1993 325I, 1987-1991 325IS, and 1988-1991 M3 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Delphi also includes the necessary accessories for a complete job. If a worn inner tie rod end is behind your steering play, uneven tire wear, or knocking when turning, this replaces it — always diagnose the cause before ordering.
