Keep steering tight and front-suspension movement smooth with the Delphi ball joint (TC1995), a direct-fit replacement for the front upper position on a wide range of Mercedes-Benz models. It fits applications such as the 2007-2011 CLS550, 2003-2009 E320, 2003-2006 E500 and 2007-2012 SL550 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of covered vehicles and years. As the pivoting link between the control arm and steering knuckle, it lets the front suspension travel while the wheel steers.
Delphi applies its OE expertise to its aftermarket steering portfolio, testing parts below -40°C and over 120°C and through 720 hours of salt spray. Signs the original may need replacing include clunking or popping from the front suspension, wandering steering and uneven tire wear. Sold individually; order 2 for a complete left-and-right replacement.
