Detailed Description

Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to its steering portfolio, helping ensure proper fit and consistent replacement performance. Part number TA5561 is a straight tie rod end with female and male end geometry, a black coated exterior, and a chloroprene rubber dust boot. It is not adjustable, not greaseable, and does not use a grease fitting, which keeps the design simple for direct replacement service. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 32106792618) for the same application.

• Front-end alignment issues after steering component wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the right outer position and match the thread size, pitch, and thread direction before installation. After replacement, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore steering geometry. Confirm vehicle-specific fitment for BMW 230i xDrive, 330i xDrive, 430i xDrive, and related xDrive models before service. Part number TA5561 should be compared against the original component and any OE reference numbers during ordering.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects steering components to extreme temperature and salt-spray testing and uses dimensional and material analysis to support OE-style fit and durability. The TA5561 is engineered as a standard replacement steering tie rod end for consistent service on supported BMW applications.
