Delphi Steering Tie Rod End P/N:TA1289
Steer with confidence using the Delphi tie rod — an inner Steering Tie Rod End (MPN TA2032) that links the steering gear to the steering linkage so your inputs translate into wheel movement. It's a direct-fit replacement for a long list of Mercedes-Benz cars, including the 2002-2007 C230, 2001-2005 C320, 2003-2009 E320, 2000-2006 S500, and 2003-2006 SL500. With 40 applications covered, see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and the engine that matches your vehicle.
Delphi includes the necessary accessories for a complete job. Worn inner tie rod ends can show up as loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or a knocking sound when turning — if a failed inner tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it. Have your alignment checked after installation.

What does this Delphi track rod end do?
It links the steering gear to the steering linkage so steering inputs move the front wheels, while its ball stud allows the joint to pivot and articulate.
What are signs my inner tie rod end may need replacing?
Watch for loose or wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or a knocking noise when turning. Have the cause diagnosed before replacing, since other parts can produce similar symptoms.
How is this part tested for durability?
Delphi validates it below -40°C and over 120°C, exposes it to 720 hours of salt spray, and fatigue tests the joint, with anti-corrosion protection applied to each part.
