Original BMW Inner Tie Rod Boot Clamp for 1, 2, 3, and 4 Series, X1, X3, X4, X5, X6, and Z4 (2007–2021)

Steering rack boots on a long run of BMW cars and SAVs are held in place by this Original BMW clamp, part 32-10-6-765-232, which secures the inner end of the tie rod bellows on models from the 1 Series through the X6 and Z4. BMW's parts data names it a pipe clamp, and it is the inner-position clamp for the rack and pinion bellows. Those bellows are rubber or synthetic covers that enclose the inner tie rods. They keep dirt, debris, and moisture away from the rack and from the joints between the rack and the spindles. The clamp weighs 8 grams, is made in Germany, and has been in BMW production since May 2004. A clamp like this squeezes the boot collar against the part beneath it so the boot cannot slip or open.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

Cracked or torn bellows let contaminants into the rack. That speeds up wear on steering components and can lead to more frequent alignments or part replacements. When a steering rack or steering gear is replaced, replace the related hardware as well, including this clamp. BMW uses one clamp number across the E8x, E9x, and F-chassis cars and the E7x and F-series SAVs covered here, so the part does not change with engine or drivetrain within this range.
