Detailed Description

Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to its steering portfolio so the aftermarket part matches the original application as closely as possible. TA2576 is engineered for front inner steering service on Mercedes-Benz C240 and C320 from 2003-2005, and Mercedes-Benz C280 and C350 from 2006-2007. If you are replacing a worn Mercedes-Benz C-Class inner tie rod, this Delphi steering tie rod end provides the correct geometry, thread specifications, and adjustable straight layout needed for a proper steering linkage repair. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-5188 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Excessive steering play or looseness at the front inner linkage
• Clunking or knocking from worn steering components
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering geometry wear
• Steering wheel wander or poor directional stability
• Failed inspection due to worn Mercedes-Benz C-Class steering parts

Installation Notes and Tips

Install TA2576 at the front inner steering position only. Verify thread direction, thread diameter, and stud length before alignment work begins. Because this tie rod end is pre-greased and does not include a grease fitting or dust boot, inspect the surrounding steering components, boots, and alignment settings during service. A professional wheel alignment is recommended after replacement on Mercedes-Benz C240, C320, C280, or C350 models.

Quality Assurance

Delphi tests steering components under extreme temperature and corrosion conditions, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure plus extended salt-spray testing, to support OE-level durability expectations. TA2576 is built for standard replacement use in the steering system and reflects Delphi’s OE engineering approach for Mercedes-Benz applications.
