Help maintain precise steering and a solid connection between the steering linkage and the wheel with the Delphi Steering Tie Rod End TA1643, an outer tie rod end built on Delphi's OE safety technology. This Delphi tie rod drops in as a direct-fit replacement for 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 and engine-level fitment.
- Extreme-condition testing: withstands temperatures below -40°C and over 120°C and endures 720 hours of salt spray, backed by extensive dimensional and material analysis for OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
- Micron-tolerance ball stud: the ball stud is machined to micron tolerances to support durability and smooth joint operation.
- Fatigue tested: each tie rod is fatigue tested to help avoid failure.
- Anti-corrosion protection: applied to each part for corrosion prevention and enhanced aesthetics.
Delphi includes the necessary accessories for a complete job. As an outer tie rod end, it transfers steering input to the wheel and helps hold toe alignment. If a worn tie rod end is behind loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or a knocking feel when turning, replacing it can address the play. Tie rod ends are commonly replaced in matched pairs, so order the quantity your vehicle requires.
