• Inner steering tie rod end for steering gear and related components
• OE-focused design for dimensional compatibility
• Tested for temperature extremes below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C
• Exposed to 720 hours of salt spray during validation
• Fits Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 53, AMG GT 63, AMG GT 63 S, C300, C63 AMG, CLS450, E350, E450, E53 AMG, E63 AMG S, GLC300, GLC350e, GLC43 AMG, GLC63 AMG S, E300, C43 AMG, E43 AMG, C450 AMG, and C400 applications

Detailed Description

Delphi TA6382 is an inner tie rod end for Mercedes-Benz steering systems, including C300, E350, GLC300, and AMG applications. Delphi applies OE engineering knowledge to its aftermarket steering portfolio, using dimensional and material analysis to help maintain proper interface between the replacement part and the original steering components. The result is a service part built for accurate steering linkage restoration on the listed vehicles.

This part cross-references Mercedes-Benz 205 460 04 05 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive steering play from worn inner tie rod components
• Loose or imprecise steering feel
• Uneven front-end response caused by steering linkage wear
• Clunking or knocking from the steering gear area
• Restoring steering geometry after tie rod service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s steering configuration and confirm inner tie rod end placement before installation. After replacement, perform a professional wheel alignment to restore correct toe settings and steering wheel position. Inspect related steering and suspension components for wear while the system is apart.

Quality Assurance

Delphi validates steering parts through extreme temperature exposure and extended salt-spray testing, along with dimensional and material analysis to support OE-style fit and performance. Delphi’s OE safety technology is used on millions of vehicles worldwide, and that engineering background carries into this aftermarket steering component.
