BMW E39 Front Hub Carrier Sleeve Bush Insert - Track Rod / Outer Tie Rod - 26mm OD

BMW E39 owners, listen up! If you're replacing the front outer tie rod (track rod end) on your 5 Series, you'll likely need this little but crucial sleeve bush insert. It presses into the front hub carrier/knuckle where the tie rod end bolts through. Over time, the hole can wear oval, causing alignment issues and looseness. This brand new sleeve is made from mild steel, has a 26mm outer diameter, and is about 28mm long. It's a genuine OEM-equivalent quality part made in Turkey. Installing it (with a press or hammer) restores a tight, precise fit for the new tie rod, ensuring proper steering feel and alignment. A must-have when doing front end work on your E39. Check your hub carrier condition—if the hole is worn, this inexpensive part saves you from buying a whole new knuckle.
