Left Outer Tie Rod End for 2001-2003 BMW 525i & More - Delphi TA1645

Designed to address loose, wandering handling caused by a worn joint, the Delphi tie rod, part number TA1645, is a left outer steering tie rod end that connects the outer steering linkage to the steering knuckle and transmits input from the steering to turn the wheel. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2003 BMW 525i, 1997-2000 BMW 528i, and 2001-2003 BMW 530i (see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level detail).

• OE-derived engineering: Delphi applies its OE steering expertise to the aftermarket, backed by extensive dimensional and material analysis for close compatibility between the OE and the replacement part.
• Tested to the extreme: validated below -40°C and above 120°C and exposed to 720 hours of salt spray for OE-level performance.
• Precision ball stud: the ball stud is machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation, and each tie rod is fatigue tested to guard against failure.
• Corrosion protection: anti-corrosion protection is applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced appearance.

Delphi includes the necessary accessories for a complete job. Signs this part may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, a clunk or knock when turning, and uneven tire wear. Replacing both sides together as a matched set is recommended for balanced steering.
