Product Description

Ensure precise steering response and safe handling with this Arrowhead Tie Rod/Rack End, designed for Mercedes-Benz models. This crucial component connects your vehicle's steering rack to the steering knuckle, allowing for smooth and controlled wheel movement. A worn or damaged tie rod can compromise your ability to steer accurately and may lead to uneven tyre wear or even loss of control.

This tie rod/rack end is suitable for selected Mercedes-Benz models. Always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code to guarantee correct fitment before purchase.

Common symptoms of a failing tie rod include excessive play in the steering wheel, knocking noises when turning, uneven or rapid tyre wear, and poor alignment. If you experience increased steering effort or notice your vehicle pulling to one side, the tie rod may need attention.

It is recommended to replace tie rod ends at the first sign of wear or damage, especially if you notice looseness or vibration in the steering system. Timely replacement ensures continued vehicle safety and prevents further suspension or steering component damage.
