Help keep steering response tight with the Delphi tie rod — an inner Steering Tie Rod End (MPN TA1186) that links the steering gear to the linkage, transmitting steering input to the wheels while allowing normal suspension travel. It fits many Mercedes-Benz models, among them the 1990-1993 Mercedes-Benz 300D, 1995 Mercedes-Benz E300 and 1994-1995 Mercedes-Benz E320; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
- OE-engineered: Delphi applies its OE steering expertise to the aftermarket, with parts tested below -40°C and above 120°C and through 720 hours of salt spray, plus dimensional and material analysis for OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
- Precision ball stud: ball studs machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
- Fatigue tested to guard against failure in service.
- Anti-corrosion protection applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced appearance.
- Includes the necessary accessories for a complete job.
If a worn inner tie rod end is behind loose steering, play in the wheel, wandering or uneven tire wear, this replaces it. Have an alignment performed after installation.
