Tie/Track Rods

[Gingerlomax]

Hi there. Just tried to get my wheel laser aligned but the garage found my track arms are seized so I am thinking to just replace them with an upgraded set. Does anyone have recommendations?

I used these a while back and were fine.
Edit sorry mines an e85 not e89

If your car is an E89 then Meyle HD arms are very good and a noticeable improvement..note these are the HD version

Yes mine is E89 35i

Will definitely benefit from Meyle HD track rod ends..

If the track rods are in poor condition likely on a 35i that other suspension bushes are shot ‘ on their way out..

Guessing i may as well do the rear at the same time..

Another bad BMW design, track rod ends, specifically having a slot along the thread, which causes the the thread to rust.
Every other car i worked on has a nut on the shaft, thus sort of protecting the thread, all being inside the rod end.
I had to resort to using a Dremel to cut track rod off.

I’ve not fitted mine as I’ve decided to retain the stock MSport ride height..
