Keep steering input crisp and linkage play in check with the Beck/Arnley Steering Center Link / Tie Rod End 101-6343, a front steering-linkage component that transmits movement through the steering linkage. It drops in as a direct replacement for the 1994-1996 Mercedes-Benz C220, 1997-2000 Mercedes-Benz C230, 1994-1997 Mercedes-Benz C280, and 1995-1997 Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG; see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. This part is cataloged under both names — Steering Center Link and Tie Rod End.
Worn steering-linkage parts can show up as loose or wandering steering, a clunk in the steering, or uneven front tire wear. If a failed center link / tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. Have the linkage inspected to confirm the worn component before ordering.
