SPL Tie Rod Ends for the BMW G8X, G2X, and G42 allows for bumpsteer adjustment by allowing the tie rod end pivot to be relocated with the use of spacers. On lowered cars, this results in less dynamic toe change (aka bumpsteer) as the suspension compresses (bump) during cornering and over rough roads, resulting in more predictable handling, less tire shoulder wear, and better stability over rough roads and track curbing.

The SPL tie rod ends are not a significant contributor to NVH. They improve the driving experience by reducing bumpsteer on uncorrected cars.
