Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End Assembly P/N:543-244
Tighten up loose, wandering steering with the Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End Assembly (543-199), a front tie rod end that installs with its protective grease boot in place — exactly the Dorman tie rod boot assembly BMW owners search for. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2007 BMW 525XI, 2008 BMW 528XI, 2009-2010 BMW 528I xDrive, 2006-2007 BMW 530XI, 2008 BMW 535XI, and 2009-2010 BMW 535I xDrive. A tie rod end links the steering linkage to the front steering knuckle, transmitting steering input to the front wheels while pivoting to accommodate suspension travel.
Signs this part may need replacing include loose or vague steering, clunking or knocking over the front end, uneven front tire wear, and torn or split boots. Sold individually; order 2 to replace both sides for balanced steering.
