Help address loose, wandering steering with the Beck/Arnley tie rod end 101-4919, a front outer tie rod end built as a direct replacement for Original Equipment applications on foreign nameplates. This Beck/Arnley steering tie rod end fits many vehicles, among them the 1998-2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK230, 2002-2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK32 AMG and 2001-2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK320 — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
The tie rod end connects the steering linkage to the steering knuckle, transferring steering input to the wheel while allowing suspension travel. Signs a worn unit may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, and a knocking or clunking through the steering.
Tie rod ends install as left/right pairs on the axle; replacing both sides together helps keep steering response even.
