Tie rods on aging BMWs should be replaced to avoid failure and to make your alignment guy happy. There is nothing more upsetting for an alignment tech than a seized tie rod.
The tie rods in your vehicle translate the movement of the steering wheel through the rack and to your wheels. Often when a vehicle is beginning to experience some higher mileage, the tie rod ends begin to fail. This causes slop in the steering wheel and knocks and creaks in the steering system. Catastrophic tie rod end failure can cause serious damage and danger as the tie rod end keeps the wheel path straight. Replace your tie rods for some cheap insurance against dangerous failures. These tie rod ends will offer dramatic improvements over worn original units. Tighter, quieter steering and a more responsive wheel can be expected. A great way to stay safe on the road. By replacing both inner and outer in an assembly, alignment will be easier as all parts are new and tight. A great way to address all issues associated with your steering.
