Detailed Description

The Delphi TA3227 steering tie rod end is engineered as a standard replacement part for vehicles that need precise outer tie rod service. It uses a female-to-male threaded configuration, clockwise thread direction on both ends, and a threaded stud type for secure steering linkage connection. The part measures 63.0 mm wide, 93.0 mm high, and 222.0 mm from stud center to end, with a 19.7 mm cone outside diameter and 14.0 mm thread diameter on both ends. Delphi applies OE-focused dimensional and material analysis to help maintain proper fit and steering geometry. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-7486 for the same application.

Compatible With 2009-2014 Mercedes-Benz CL550, right outer; 2012-2013 Mercedes-Benz S350, right outer; and 2007-2013 Mercedes-Benz S550, right outer. Use Delphi TA3227 when servicing the outer steering linkage on these Mercedes-Benz models and restoring stable steering feel.

Common Issues This Part May Address

• Excessive steering play at the front end
• Clunking or looseness from the outer tie rod area
• Uneven toe settings after steering component wear
• Steering wheel wander or poor directional control
• Boot damage that exposes the joint to contamination

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the steering linkage, inner tie rod, and alignment settings before installation. Because this is a right outer tie rod end for Mercedes-Benz CL550, S350, and S550 applications, a professional wheel alignment should follow replacement to verify toe and steering wheel center. Confirm thread direction, stud fit, and position before final tightening.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure plus extended salt spray testing, to support OE-level performance expectations. Delphi TA3227 is built using OE-based engineering and material analysis for consistent aftermarket replacement quality.
