WTB: center tie rod

[autokunst]

Hello all. I'm looking for a new BMW center tie rod/track rod. Part number 32211104018. My car came to me with the center rod already replaced (I have no idea when, but it had the sticker on it still). Unfortunately, one of the ends is seized. The blue book says you are supposed to put some oil in the Vulkollan ring to prevent ingress of water - evidently the mechanic that installed the last one didn't do that! I know (believe) that WN has a aftermarket versions right now, and I'd prefer to stay with original. Any help is appreciated.

Stephen, I have seen this part on the Jaymic website, did not have many left, unsure if it is BMW part or repro. Best of luck in the hunt. Mike

According to RealOEM that part was superceeded by 32211104082 which W&N do have, so try your local BMW parts shop or any others you can easily get deliveries from and if they can't beat W&N then at least you can get it from them - Center steering tie rod fits for all models and years of manufacturing you need 1 for 1 car | Wallothesch (wallothnesch.com)
