This tie rod assembly R 32216762244, corresponding to OE number 32 21 6 762 244, is a precision engineered steering component manufactured to original equipment specifications for BMW 1 Series, 3 Series, and X1 models. As a critical link between the steering rack and the wheel hub, it converts steering wheel input into precise wheel movement, ensuring responsive handling and stable straight line tracking. Constructed from high strength forged steel with a corrosion resistant coating, this assembly withstands continuous road vibration, impact loads, and harsh environmental conditions. The ball joint features a hardened stud and a low friction polymer bearing insert that minimises play, reduces steering slack, and extends service life well beyond conventional aftermarket parts. This complete assembly includes both inner and outer tie rod ends, pre greased and sealed with durable rubber boots that effectively repel dirt, water, and road salt, preventing premature wear and seizure. The thread pitch, taper angle, and overall length match the original specifications exactly, enabling bolt on installation without any modifications. Compatible with BMW 1 Series E81 E82 E87 E88 from 2004 to 2012, 3 Series E90 E91 E92 E93 from 2005 to 2011, and X1 E84 models, this tie rod assembly restores factory steering feel and eliminates vague or loose steering symptoms commonly caused by worn joints. Excessive steering free play, uneven front tyre wear, or knocking noises when turning are clear signs that replacement is due; our component resolves these issues and contributes to overall driving safety. Every assembly undergoes 100 percent tensile strength, torsional fatigue, and salt spray testing prior to dispatch. Backed by a 24 month warranty against material and workmanship defects, this tie rod assembly offers both professional garages and DIY enthusiasts a durable, cost effective solution that keeps your BMW steering sharp, predictable, and reliable for thousands of miles.
