Delphi TL611 Steering Tie Rod End Assembly - Left

Delphi TL611 Left Steering Tie Rod End

Delphi TL611 is a standard replacement left steering tie rod end assembly built for BMW steering systems that require precise toe control and stable road feel. It combines an adjustable straight design with a dust boot and corrosion-resistant finish for dependable service in everyday driving.

Compatible with select BMW 2 Series, 3 Series, 4 Series, and M models, including BMW 320i, 328i, 335i, 430i, and M240i applications on the left side.

• Left-side steering tie rod end assembly
• Straight, adjustable design for steering linkage service
• Steel tie rod construction with cataphoresis finish
• Dust boot included to help protect the joint
• Male-to-male end configuration
• Clockwise thread direction on both ends
• Standard replacement part for OE-style service

Delphi applies OE engineering knowledge to its aftermarket steering portfolio, with dimensional and material analysis used to support fit and function. The TL611 is tested across extreme temperature ranges and salt-spray exposure to evaluate durability in demanding conditions. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley (e.g., 101-7999, 101-8393) for the same application. If you are replacing a worn BMW left outer steering linkage component, Delphi TL611 provides a direct service option for maintaining steering response and alignment integrity.

Common Steering Issues It May Address

• Excessive steering play or looseness at the front end
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn toe control components
• Clunking or knocking from the steering linkage
• Pulling or wandering during straight-line driving
• Failed inspection due to worn steering joint movement
