Product Description
Restore precise steering and suspension performance in your Mercedes-Benz with this Arrowhead Ball Joint LH & RH. This ball joint is designed for use on either the left or right hand side of the front suspension, ensuring reliable articulation and alignment between the steering knuckle and control arm. It features a robust metal housing, rubber dust boot to protect against dust and debris, and a grease fitting for easy maintenance.
This part is compatible with Mercedes-Benz E-Class W212 models, including E200 to E500 and CDI variants manufactured between 2009 and 2016. Always confirm your vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
Worn or failing ball joints can lead to a range of symptoms, such as uneven tyre wear, clunking noises over bumps, loose or wandering steering, and poor handling. You may also notice excessive vibration in the steering wheel or visible play in the suspension components.
Replace your ball joint if you experience any of these issues, or during routine suspension maintenance, to maintain safe handling and prevent further damage to your vehicle’s steering and suspension system. Timely replacement helps avoid more costly repairs down the line.
