This is an OEM front left tie rod assembly for all E36 and Z3 models. This is a complete tie rod, including the inner and outer pieces. While it's technically possible to replace only the outer ball joint it's our experience that the inner sees just as much wear as the outside and they should be replaced together. Worn tie rod ball joints will give a loose and disconnected steering feel as well as clunking sounds. Since the tie rods are the only direct link between your steering wheel and the wheels it's crucial to inspect tie rods annually, or more often on track-driven cars. Replace the tie rods if any play or wear is evident.
This is an OEM tie rod manufactured by an original supplier to BMW for this part (Lemforder or TRW), as well as many other mounts and bushings. As the OEM it meets all of BMW's original design, fitment, and performance requirements and is TUV approved. OEM parts are the best alternative to more expensive Original BMW parts because they are virtually identical without the inflated price tag. This part has a two year warranty.
