Keep your steering tight and responsive with the Delphi tie rod, a left outer Steering Tie Rod End (P/N: TA1686) that connects the steering linkage to the knuckle and transmits steering input to the front wheel while allowing for suspension travel. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2005 BMW 320I, 2000 BMW 323CI, 1999-2000 BMW 323I, 2001-2006 BMW 325CI, 2001-2005 BMW 325I, 2000 BMW 328CI, 1999-2000 BMW 328I, 2001-2006 BMW 330CI, 2001-2005 BMW 330I, and 2003-2008 BMW Z4 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.

  • OE-derived engineering: Delphi's OE safety technology draws on its aftermarket steering portfolio, with parts validated below -40°C and above 120°C, 720 hours of salt-spray exposure, and dimensional and material analysis for close OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
  • Micron-machined ball stud: the stud is machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
  • Fatigue tested: Delphi tie rods are fatigue tested to help avoid failure in service.
  • Anti-corrosion protection: applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced aesthetics.

Delphi includes the necessary accessories for a complete job. If a worn left outer tie rod end is behind loose steering, clunking, or uneven front tire wear, this replaces it.
