Installation Notes and Tips
Install Delphi TA5509 at the inner steering position only on the listed BMW applications. Verify left-side placement, thread direction, and thread size before installation. After replacement, perform a professional wheel alignment to restore steering geometry and tire wear characteristics. Confirm all fasteners and linkage connections are torqued to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications.
Quality Assurance
Delphi tests steering components across extreme temperature ranges below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, and exposes parts to 720 hours of salt spray to evaluate corrosion resistance. This OE-focused validation supports consistent performance for BMW 325xi and 330xi steering service. Part number TA5509 is built as a standard replacement steering tie rod end assembly.
