Steer with confidence using the Delphi tie rod — the Steering Tie Rod End TA1876, a direct-fit right outer replacement for the 1997-2003 BMW 540I and 2000-2003 BMW M5 (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level detail). The tie rod end links the steering system to the wheel, transferring input to the knuckle so the wheel turns; worn joints are common signs this part may need replacing, showing up as loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or a clunk when turning. This is a right outer unit.
OE-proven testing: Delphi draws on its OE steering expertise and tests to the extreme — parts withstand temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C and endure 720 hours of salt spray, with dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
Precision ball stud: the ball stud is machined to micron tolerances, designed for durability and smooth joint operation.
Fatigue tested: each tie rod is fatigue tested to help avoid 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.
