Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Delphi TA6390 tie rod end requires removal of the old component and proper torqueing of the included mounting hardware. Since this part is not adjustable, alignment should be checked and corrected after installation. The pre-greased design simplifies installation, but care should be taken to avoid damaging the dust boot. Thread directions are clockwise on both ends, matching factory specifications for Mercedes-Benz CLS400, CLS550, E250, E300, E350, E400, and E550 models.
