Track rod assembly

Adam1990 · 07-22-2018, 02:41 PM

After my last alignment the garage really struggled with the alignment as both track rods are seized... (They're rusted to bits) Now these need replacing because the ailment is not perfect.

I've had a quote for genuine BMW parts which was extortionate ... Well over £200 for the track rod assembly for both sides.

The big question is does anyone know who makes these for BMW or which is the best after market oem replacement?

This is a screenshot straight from BMW ETK showing the part numbers for a tie & track rod setup for your car, should be able to cross reference the part numbers against other brands? hopefully thats of some help

I bought both inner and outer track rods for both sides from Autodoc. If you have TRW or lemforder you can't go wrong. TRW are the oem manufacturer for control arms and wishbones in my e91

Lemforder on my e90. Not a difficult job to do, need patience. And heat. Lots of heat. 😀
