Front Tie Rod End – BMW i5
This front tie rod end connects the steering rack to the wheel hub. Choose the left side (Febi 1004003) or the right side (Febi 1004004). Each one comes with a lock nut and bolt, has an M16 x 1.5 internal thread and an M14 x 1.5 external thread, is 186 mm long and takes a 21 mm spanner.
The tie rod end passes every steering movement to the wheel, so wear in its ball joint shows up quickly. Typical signs are a knock over bumps, play or vagueness in the steering, a car that wanders on the motorway and uneven wear on the inside or outside of the front tyre. A new tie rod end restores precise steering.
This listing covers Febi part numbers 1004003 (left) and 1004004 (right), made by the bilstein group.
