Tighten up loose, wandering steering with the Delphi Steering Tie Rod End TA2697, a direct-fit inner tie rod end for a wide range of Mercedes-Benz SUVs and wagons — including the 2007-2009 GL320, 2010-2012 GL350, 2007-2012 GL450, 2006-2011 ML350, 2007-2011 ML63 AMG, and 2006-2013 R350. This is a Delphi tie rod built to OE safety standards; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full application and engine list. As an inner joint, it links the steering rack to the outer tie rod, transferring steering input to the wheel while allowing suspension travel. Worn joints show up as play in the wheel, a loose or wandering feel, clunking on turns, and uneven tire wear.

  • OE-level validation: tested to the extreme — withstands temperatures below -40°C and above 120°C and 720 hours of salt spray, with dimensional and material analysis for OE-to-aftermarket compatibility.
  • Micron-machined ball stud: the stud is machined to micron tolerances for durability and smooth joint operation.
  • Fatigue tested to guard against failure, with anti-corrosion protection applied to each part.
  • Complete job: Delphi includes the necessary accessories.
