Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA5197
Tighten up loose, wandering steering with the Delphi tie rod end TA3179, a right outer steering tie rod end that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2013-2016 MINI Cooper Countryman and 2013-2016 MINI Cooper Paceman (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine specifics). It connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transmitting steering input to the wheel while allowing for suspension travel.
Play or slop in a worn tie rod end is a common cause of loose steering, uneven front tire wear, and clunking over the road. If a failed right outer tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it; have the alignment checked after installation.
