OE-Style Steering Performance

The Delphi TA1528 steering tie rod end is engineered for direct replacement use where precise steering linkage geometry matters. Delphi applies OE-level testing and material validation to its steering portfolio, including exposure to extreme temperatures and salt spray, to help maintain durability in demanding road conditions. This part number TA1528 is a practical choice for restoring front outer steering connection on Mercedes-Benz E420, E500, 300SL, 400E, 500E, 500SL, 600SL, SL320, SL500, and SL600 applications.

This part cross-references MOOG Chassis Products ES3315 for the same application.

Common Issues It Can Address

• Loose or vague steering feel at the front end
• Excessive play in the outer tie rod joint
• Uneven tire wear caused by worn steering linkage
• Clunking or knocking from the front steering system
• Steering alignment problems after component wear

Installation Notes

Verify thread size, thread direction, and front outer position before installation. The TA1528 uses a straight design with threaded male ends, a 14.0 mm end 2 thread diameter, and a 12.0 mm end 1 thread diameter. After replacement, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore correct steering geometry. Confirm vehicle-specific fitment for Mercedes-Benz SL500, SL600, and related models before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Delphi backs this steering component with OE-focused engineering and validation. The part is tested for temperature extremes below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, and for 720 hours of salt spray exposure to evaluate durability in harsh environments.
