BMW i3 Front Tie Rod with Tie Rod End – Left / Right
This front tie rod with tie rod end connects the steering rack to the front wheel on the BMW i3. It is a complete assembly with the inner tie rod, outer tie rod end and fitting parts, so it replaces both wear points in one job. The left and right tie rods are different parts, so choose the side you need from the options.
Worn tie rods show up as play or a knock in the steering, vague handling, a car that wanders on the motorway or uneven wear on the inner or outer edge of the front tyres.
Each side is a Febi part from the bilstein group: front axle left is Febi 180976 and front axle right is Febi 180975.
Febi is a brand of the bilstein group, a German parts maker that supplies replacement parts for cars and vans across the world.
