Delphi Steering Center Link P/N:TL421
Delphi TL502 front center link for the 1997-2000 Mercedes-Benz C230 and other vehicles passes steering motion to the tie rods. Also called a steering center link, it works with the other parts of the steering linkage.
Play in the steering, a loose or wandering feel, or uneven front tire wear can mean a worn center link. Worn tie rod ends, an idler arm or a pitman arm can be behind the same symptoms, so pin down the cause before you buy.
The cars it fits include the 1997-2000 Mercedes-Benz C230, the 1994-1997 Mercedes-Benz C280 and the 1995-1997 Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG. The 1997-2000 Mercedes-Benz C230 takes two. If your Mercedes-Benz is something else, search its year and model in the "Vehicles it fits" section to see whether it takes this center link.
