Delphi TA3449 Front Left Outer Tie Rod End

Delphi TA3449 is a steering tie rod end built for the front left outer position on select BMW applications. It combines a straight, adjustable design with pre-greased construction, a dust boot, and a steel housing for OE-style steering service on BMW 530i, 540i, 740i, M5, and related models.

Detailed Description

Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to its aftermarket steering portfolio, and TA3449 reflects that approach with a precise fit for the front left outer steering position. The design uses a threaded stud, male-to-female end configuration, and a hex head drive type for serviceability. With a 193.02 mm overall stud-center length, 35.50 mm stud length, and 16.20 mm cone outside diameter, this tie rod end is engineered for the BMW steering systems listed below. This part cross-references Mevotech Supreme MS106191 for the same application.

Compatible With BMW 840i, BMW M8, BMW M850i xDrive, BMW 530e, BMW 530i, BMW 540i, BMW 740i, BMW 750i, BMW M5, and other listed BMW models in the front left outer position. The Delphi TA3449 part number is also a useful reference when matching OE-style steering components during repair or replacement.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or imprecise steering feel at the front left outer linkage
• Clunking or play from a worn tie rod end joint
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering linkage wear
• Steering pull or wandering related to worn front suspension steering parts
• Restoring proper toe control after front-end service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the front left outer position before installation and confirm clockwise (right) thread direction on both ends. Because this is an adjustable steering component, alignment should be checked after installation. Compare the old part’s dimensions, thread orientation, and cone size to the Delphi TA3449 before assembly on BMW 840i, 540i, 740i, M5, or other listed vehicles.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects steering components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including exposure below -40 degrees C, above 120 degrees C, and extended salt-spray testing. That OE-oriented validation supports consistent fit and durability for aftermarket steering service.
