Keep your steering tight and responsive with the Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Tie Rod End 543-297, a front inner tie rod end that links the steering rack to the outer tie rod so your steering input reaches the front wheels. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of BMW applications, including the 2012-2018 320I, 2012-2016 328I, 2016-2018 330I, 2014-2021 220I, 2016-2020 420I, 2017-2020 430I and 440I, 2013-2015 ActiveHybrid 3, and 2017-2021 M240I — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of covered years, models, and engine codes.

  • Front inner position: serves the inner tie rod location, transferring rack movement to the outer joint.
  • Articulating joint: the ball-and-socket connection allows steering and suspension travel while maintaining wheel alignment.
  • Direct-fit replacement: installs on the listed BMW applications.

A worn tie rod end can show up as steering play or wandering, uneven or feathered front tire wear, and a loose or clunking feel when turning. If a failed inner tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it; have your alignment checked after installation.
