$24.99

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.

  • Delphi OE expertise: tested to the extreme for OE performance — parts withstand temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C and endure 720 hours of salt spray, with dimensional and material analysis for OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
  • Micron-tolerance ball studs: the ball studs are machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
  • Fatigue tested: Delphi tie rods are fatigue tested to help avoid failure.
  • Anti-corrosion protection is applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced aesthetics, and Delphi includes the necessary accessories for a complete job.

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.
