  • Uneven tire wear related to steering linkage wear
  • Alignment instability after suspension or steering service
  • Corrosion-related wear on exposed steering components

Installation Notes and Tips

Install TA3178 at the front left outer steering position only. After replacement, perform a professional wheel alignment to restore steering geometry and tire wear characteristics. Verify thread direction, stud dimensions, and vehicle application before installation on 2013-2016 Mini Cooper Countryman or Mini Cooper Paceman models.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and salt-spray testing to evaluate durability in harsh conditions. The brand’s OE-focused engineering approach supports consistent fit and function for the Mini Cooper Countryman and Mini Cooper Paceman applications listed above.
