Help keep steering precise and responsive on your BMW with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end (MEV331), a front inner replacement engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades and built for high-usage commercial and passenger vehicles, SUVs, fleets and working trucks. It's a direct-fit replacement for many BMW models, among them the 1996-2002 BMW Z3, 1992-1999 BMW 318i and 1992-1999 BMW 318is — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine coverage.
The tie rod end links the steering system to the wheel, transmitting steering input while allowing the suspension to travel. A worn unit can show up as loose or wandering steering, a knocking feel when turning, and uneven tire wear; if the front inner tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it.
