Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2018-2022 BMW X3, front left outer. Fits 2019-2021 BMW X4, front left outer. Confirm the vehicle position before installation and inspect related steering components, including the inner tie rod and alignment settings, during service. Because this is a threaded steering component, proper torque and a professional wheel alignment are recommended after replacement. Part number TA3459 should be matched to the vehicle’s steering configuration before installation.

Quality Assurance

Delphi tests steering components across extreme temperature ranges below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, and subjects parts to 720 hours of salt spray exposure. That testing, along with OE-focused dimensional and material analysis, supports consistent fit and durability for TA3459 in BMW X3 and BMW X4 applications.
