OE-Style Construction and Fit

This Delphi steering tie rod end is built for inner steering locations and uses a threaded stud design with a chloroprene rubber dust boot to help protect the joint from road contamination. Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and salt-spray testing, then verifies dimensions and materials to align with OE requirements. The TA1464 is a direct-fit steering linkage component for Mercedes-Benz 300D, 300SD, 300TD, 380SE, 380SL, 380SEC, 380SEL, 380SLC, 420SEL, 500SEC, 500SEL, 560SEC, 560SEL, 560SL, 300SDL, 350SD, and 350SDL inner steering applications.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES2084L for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Excessive steering play from a worn inner tie rod end
• Loose or imprecise steering response
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering linkage wear
• Clunking or knocking from the steering system
• Restoring proper steering geometry after component wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify thread direction, thread diameter, and inner position before installation. The TA1464 uses different thread directions on each end, so correct orientation is important during assembly. After installation, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to confirm steering geometry and tire wear settings.
