Detailed Description

Delphi TL476 is engineered as a steering tie rod end assembly for the front right outer position. It features a bent design, chloroprene rubber dust boot, and steel construction to support steering linkage service where original components have worn, loosened, or developed play. The adjustable layout helps restore proper toe settings during alignment work, while the OE-focused material and dimensional checks support accurate fitment on BMW 528i, 525i, and 530i models.

Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure plus extended salt-spray evaluation, to validate durability in demanding road conditions. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-5523 and 101-5525 for the same application. The TL476 part number is also referenced in aftermarket interchange listings for related steering service applications.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or vague steering feel at the front right outer linkage
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering geometry
• Clunking or play from a deteriorated tie rod end
• Alignment instability after steering component wear
• Restoration of steering response on BMW 528i, 525i, and 530i models

Installation Notes and Tips

Install TL476 on the front right outer steering position only. After replacement, perform a professional wheel alignment to set toe and verify steering wheel center. Confirm thread direction, thread diameter, and overall length against the removed part before installation. The included dust boot and mounting hardware support service replacement, and the adjustable design helps during final alignment setup.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-based engineering, dimensional analysis, and material validation for its steering portfolio. TL476 is tested for temperature extremes and corrosion resistance to support consistent performance in steering service on BMW 528i, 525i, and 530i applications.
