Delphi TA2109 Steering Tie Rod End - Inner

OE-Style Steering Tie Rod End for BMW

The Delphi TA2109 steering tie rod end is a standard replacement part built for front inner steering applications on select BMW models. It is engineered with Delphi OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to support proper fit and steering response on BMW 128i, 135i, 328i, 335i, X1, and Z4 applications.

Delphi subjects this steering component to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including exposure below -40 degrees C, above 120 degrees C, and 720 hours of salt spray. The TA2109 is a practical choice for BMW owners replacing worn front inner steering linkage components.

Detailed Description

Built for BMW steering systems, the Delphi TA2109 is a front inner steering tie rod end that supports precise linkage replacement where factory wear, looseness, or steering play has developed. Delphi applies OE-level engineering methods to its aftermarket steering portfolio, using dimensional and material analysis to help maintain correct interface and compatibility with the original steering rack and related components. This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES800662 for the same application.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s steering rack type and position before installation, especially on BMW models noted with ZF steering rack or old body style requirements. The TA2109 is listed for front inner left or right positions depending on the application, so confirm the exact side using the vehicle’s service information. A professional alignment is recommended after steering linkage replacement.

Quality Assurance

Delphi tests steering components across extreme temperature ranges and long-duration salt spray exposure to evaluate durability and corrosion resistance. The brand’s OE-focused engineering approach is intended to support consistent fit and performance in aftermarket steering service.
