Keep steering inputs tight and precise with the Mevotech Supreme steering tie rod end (MS10688), the front outer link that connects the steering system to the front wheel. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2006 BMW X5, so a worn original tie rod end can be swapped without guesswork.
- Sintered metal strength: built with sintered metal technology to increase durability and extend service life.
- Resists corrosion: a protective surface treatment helps prevent rust build-up for added longevity.
- Simple to service: an SAE grease fitting is included so the joint can be greased in place.
- Labor Saver hardware: additional installation hardware is included in the box to simplify the job.
Every Mevotech Supreme tie rod end is engineered in-house with application-specific upgrades and validated through extensive in-house and third-party durability testing. If a loose, worn front outer tie rod end is causing play in your 2004-2006 BMW X5 tie rod linkage, this replaces it. Because tie rod ends install as left/right pairs, it's sold individually, and replacing both sides together is recommended.
