Detailed Description

Delphi TA3502 is engineered as a steering tie rod end for the left outer side of the front steering linkage. It is listed for 2019-2021 BMW X5, 2019-2022 BMW X7, 2020-2024 BMW X6, and 2021-2022 BMW Alpina XB7 in the left outer position.

Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material checks to help maintain proper compatibility between the original part and the replacement component. The unit uses a steel housing, plastic bearing material, and a rubber dust boot to help protect the joint from contamination while supporting steering precision.

This part cross-references Mevotech Supreme MS106231 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive steering play at the left front outer linkage
• Clunking or looseness from a worn tie rod end
• Uneven front tire wear caused by steering geometry issues
• Steering wander or reduced on-center feel
• Inspection failure from worn steering linkage components

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm left outer position, thread direction, and vehicle application before installation. After replacement, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore steering geometry and tire wear characteristics. Verify that the threaded stud seats correctly and that all fasteners are tightened to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects steering components to extreme temperature testing below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, along with 720 hours of salt spray exposure. Those validation steps, combined with OE-based dimensional and material analysis, support consistent performance for BMW X5, BMW X7, BMW X6, and Alpina XB7 applications.
