BMW 328i Tie Rod End

The BMW 328i Tie Rod End allows the driver to point the car accurately by connecting the steering rack to each of the front wheels. Racked at both ends of the rack gear in rack and pinion configurations or connected to a center link in traditional configurations, the Tie Rod End is the component that transmits the turning force produced at the steering wheel directly to the knuckle so that the tires shift smoothly and stay in alignment. In all BMW cars, it is the vital link. Every 328i has paired inner and outer Tie Rod End components, with the inner bolted to the rack or linkage and the outer featuring a ball and socket joint pivoted with suspension travel, maintaining both toe and a sharp feel of the road. Earlier 328i models fitted with hydraulic power steering use the same basic Tie Rod End design, whereas later electric-assist versions still use it as the only mechanical connection, so routine inspection for looseness is important for all years. Compared to styles, the difference lies in placement; the inner is a protection behind a boot and the outer is in front of the elements, but both have a vital role in any BMW steering response. The handling that defines a BMW 328i is dependent on a healthy Tie Rod End.
