Detailed Description

Delphi TA6416 is engineered as a standard replacement steering tie rod end for the left outer side. Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to help ensure proper compatibility with the original steering components, while the part is tested across extreme temperature ranges and salt-spray exposure to evaluate durability in demanding road conditions. This tie rod end is pre-greased, coated, and supplied with a dust boot to support long-term steering performance.

Compatible With Mercedes-Benz C300, GLC300, GLC350e, GLC43 AMG, GLC63 AMG, GLC63 AMG S, AMG GT 53, AMG GT 63, AMG GT 63 S, C43 AMG, CLS450, CLS53 AMG, E300, E450, E53 AMG, E63 AMG S, E400, E43 AMG, C450 AMG, and C400 left outer steering applications. Delphi TA6416 also cross-references Mercedes-Benz A 205 460 00 05 for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Loose or imprecise steering feel at the front end
• Steering wheel play caused by worn tie rod end joints
• Uneven tire wear related to steering linkage wear
• Clunking or knocking from the outer steering linkage
• Alignment instability after steering component wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify left outer position, thread direction, and thread diameter before installation. This part uses clockwise thread direction on both ends and a 14.0 mm thread diameter. After replacement, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore steering geometry and tire wear characteristics. Confirm vehicle-specific fitment for the exact Mercedes-Benz model and year before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Delphi backs this steering component with OE-oriented engineering practices, including dimensional and material validation plus environmental testing for temperature extremes and corrosion exposure. The result is a replacement tie rod end built to meet the demands of everyday steering service on the listed Mercedes-Benz applications.
