Delphi TA2647 Steering Tie Rod End - Left Outer

Delphi TA2647 Front Left Outer Tie Rod End

Delphi TA2647 is a steering tie rod end built for the front left outer position on select Mercedes-Benz SUVs and crossovers. It combines a steel housing, coated finish, pre-greased construction, and a dust boot to support precise steering response and consistent joint protection.

Key Features

• Part number: TA2647
• Steering tie rod end for front left outer applications
• Adjustable bent design for OE-style steering linkage service
• Steel housing with coated black finish
• Pre-greased with dust boot included
• Mounting hardware included
• Female end 1 and male end 2 with clockwise thread direction

Detailed Description

Delphi TA2647 is engineered as a standard replacement steering tie rod end for Mercedes-Benz GL and ML platform vehicles. It is built with a steel tie rod and steel housing, a polyoxymethylene bearing material, and a chloroprene rubber dust boot to help protect the joint from road contamination. Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to support proper fit and compatibility, and the part is tested across extreme temperature and salt-spray exposure conditions to validate durability. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-6856 for the same application.

Compatible With 2008-2013 Mercedes-Benz GL550, left outer; 2010-2012 Mercedes-Benz GL350, left outer; 2007-2012 Mercedes-Benz GL450, left outer; 2006-2011 Mercedes-Benz ML350, left outer; 2010-2011 Mercedes-Benz ML450, left outer; 2008-2011 Mercedes-Benz ML550, left outer; 2007-2011 Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG, left outer; 2007-2009 Mercedes-Benz GL320, left outer; 2007-2009 Mercedes-Benz ML320, left outer; and 2006-2007 Mercedes-Benz ML500, left outer.

What It Helps Address

• Loose or imprecise steering feel at the front left outer linkage
• Clunking or play from a worn tie rod end joint
• Uneven steering response caused by joint wear
• Dust and moisture intrusion at the steering connection
• Service replacement for worn OE-style steering components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify left outer fitment against the vehicle’s steering linkage before installation. Inspect the mating components, alignment settings, and thread engagement during service. Because this is an adjustable tie rod end, final alignment should be checked after installation to restore proper steering geometry.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-based engineering, dimensional analysis, and material validation for its steering portfolio. The part is evaluated for temperature extremes below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, and for extended salt-spray exposure to support corrosion resistance in real-world driving conditions.
