• Pre-greased design with no grease fitting required
• Dust boot included to help protect the joint from contamination
• Steel housing and steel tie rod construction with coated finish
• Female end 2 with threaded stud design
• Mounting hardware included
• Clockwise thread direction at both ends
• Delphi part number TA2491

Detailed Description

Delphi TA2491 is engineered as a standard replacement steering tie rod end for the front outer location. It features a straight design, pre-greased construction, and a chloroprene rubber dust boot to help maintain joint protection in demanding road conditions. The steel housing, steel tie rod material, and coated finish support durability, while the OE-based dimensional and material analysis helps promote proper fit and steering alignment on the intended vehicle applications. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-6854 for the same application. Delphi TA2491 is listed for Mercedes-Benz CL600, CL63 AMG, CL65 AMG, CL550, S400, S550, S600, S63 AMG, and S65 AMG front outer steering applications.

Common Uses

• Replacing a worn front outer tie rod end that can cause steering looseness
• Addressing front-end play or wandering during highway driving
• Correcting uneven tire wear linked to steering linkage wear
• Restoring steering response after joint wear, corrosion, or boot damage
• Servicing Mercedes-Benz CL600, S550, and S63 AMG front outer steering linkage

Installation Notes and Tips

Install TA2491 on the front outer steering position only and verify thread direction, thread diameter, and overall dimensions before assembly. After installation, perform a professional wheel alignment to restore steering geometry and tire wear characteristics. Because this tie rod end is pre-greased and non-greaseable, no grease fitting service is required during routine maintenance.

Quality Assurance

Delphi applies OE-focused testing to its steering portfolio, including exposure to extreme temperature ranges and extended salt-spray testing, along with dimensional and material analysis to support OE-to-aftermarket compatibility. Delphi TA2491 is built to the same standards expected from a steering component used in Mercedes-Benz front outer applications.
