BMW 325i Tie Rod End

The Tie Rod End connects the BMW 325i steering rack to each wheel and allows you to point the car accurately while preventing the front suspension from becoming misaligned. Every BMW 325i with rack and pinion steering comes with an inner Tie Rod End that threads to the moving rack bar. Furthermore, there is also an outer Tie Rod End that connects to the steering knuckle. Subsequently, these two components create an adjustable link. Overall, the rack and pinion steering absorbs and dissipates road shock through a greased ball stud. The earlier domestic models that applied a recirculating ball box relied on a center link and separate arms. However, the 325i family retained the more compact rack layout. This feature meant the Tie Rod End became the only serviceable joint between the gear and wheel. Hence, maintenance was simplified. No matter if it is hydraulic or the newer electric power assist above it, the BMW steering rack relies on this joint to stay tight. A worn Tie Rod End creates play at the wheel, causing uneven tire wear and a sloppy on-center feel that 325i drivers immediately notice. By using quality boots and timely inspection, your BMW will be responsive and its alignment true through every corner of the road.
