Tighten up loose, wandering steering with the Delphi tie rod Steering Tie Rod End (MPN TA2572), the left outer unit that links the steering linkage to the steering knuckle so the wheel turns with your input while accommodating suspension travel. It's a direct-fit replacement covering many Mercedes-Benz applications, including the 2008-2009 C230, 2010-2015 C250, 2008-2015 C350 and C63 AMG, 2010-2017 E550, 2012-2016 SLK350, 2017-2020 SLC300 and the 2011-2015 SLS AMG — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of covered years and models.
Play in the steering wheel, uneven tire wear, or a knock when turning are common signs a tie rod end may be worn. If a failed left outer tie rod end is the cause, this replaces it; have the cause diagnosed and an alignment performed after install.

How do I know if my tie rod end is worn?
Common signs include play or looseness in the steering, uneven tire wear, wandering, or a knocking noise when turning. Have the cause diagnosed, as these symptoms can have other sources.
Does it come with the needed hardware?
Yes. Delphi includes the necessary accessories to complete the job. Consult the vehicle service information for correct torque and whether any original fasteners may be reused.
Should I get an alignment after installing it?
