Detailed Description

Delphi TA3918 is engineered for the steering linkage on the Mercedes-Benz GLB250, covering 2020 through 2023 models in the left outer position. This tie rod end uses a threaded stud design with a hex head drive type, a 0.750-inch cone outside diameter, and an 8.752-inch stud-center-to-end length for OE-style fitment. Delphi applies dimensional and material analysis to help maintain compatibility between the original steering geometry and the replacement part. TA3918 also cross-references Mevotech Supreme MS106244 for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Loose or imprecise steering feel at the front end

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify left outer placement before installation and confirm thread direction matches the vehicle side. After replacement, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore steering geometry. Inspect the adjacent steering components, including the inner tie rod and related bushings, while servicing the front suspension.

Quality Assurance

Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure plus extended salt-spray evaluation, to validate durability for aftermarket service. The brand also uses OE-level engineering data to support fit and function on applications such as the Mercedes-Benz GLB250.
