Product Details

Delphi applies OE engineering standards to its aftermarket steering portfolio, using dimensional and material analysis to match the original part as closely as possible. TA3386 is a right outer steering tie rod end with a 14.0 mm thread diameter on both ends, a 1.5 thread pitch on the end 2 side, and a threaded stud design for secure steering linkage connection. The unit uses a steel housing, polyoxymethylene bearing material, and a chloroprene rubber dust boot to help protect internal components from contamination. Delphi TA3386 is a practical replacement choice for BMW X5 and BMW X6 steering service where accurate fit and consistent steering feel matter.

Delphi tests steering components under extreme conditions, including temperatures below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, along with extended salt spray exposure, to evaluate durability in harsh environments. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 32 10 6 858 738) for the same application.

Common Steering Issues This Part Can Address

• Loose or vague steering response at the right front wheel
• Clunking or play from a worn outer tie rod end
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering linkage wear
• Steering wheel off-center after front-end service
• Corrosion or boot damage on the original tie rod end

Installation Notes

Verify right outer placement before installation and confirm thread direction, thread diameter, and overall length against the removed part. After replacement, perform a professional wheel alignment to restore steering geometry on the BMW X5 or BMW X6. Inspect the mating steering components for wear so the new tie rod end is not installed against a damaged linkage.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-based dimensional and material analysis for aftermarket steering parts and subjects components to temperature and corrosion testing to evaluate performance under demanding conditions. TA3386 is built to align with the original application requirements for select BMW steering systems.
