Description
Borg & Beck BTR5631 inner rack end for the Opel and Vauxhall Astra J, 2009 to 2015. Replaces GM 13314465 and Opel 16 09 029. New old stock, never fitted. The box shows storage age. The part is new and unused.
Two in stock. Fits left or right side.
What it is. The inner tie rod, or axial joint, that screws into the end of the steering rack. The outer tie rod end threads onto its other end. A worn inner joint gives a clunk through the wheel and loose, wandering steering. Play in the joint is a WoF fail.
Check your number first. The Astra J uses two inner rack ends that look almost the same. This one is 13314465 (Delphi TA2699), listed for cars with active steering. The other is 13286687 (Delphi TA2698, Borg & Beck BTR5650). Match the number on your old part or rack before you buy.

Fitting
- Remove the outer tie rod end, counting the threads so you can set the toe close to where it was.
- Cut the boot clips and slide the boot off.
- Unscrew the old joint from the rack and fit the new one, torqued to spec.
- Refit the boot with new clips, then the outer end.
- Get a wheel alignment straight after.
