Detailed Description

Delphi TL398 is built for front steering repair on 1994-1996 Mercedes-Benz E320 and 1995-1996 Mercedes-Benz E300 models. Delphi applies OE-level dimensional and material analysis to help ensure proper compatibility between the replacement part and the original steering system.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Steering Issues This Part May Address

  • Loose or wandering steering feel
  • Front-end play caused by worn tie rod end joints
  • Uneven tire wear linked to steering linkage wear
  • Clunking or knocking from the front steering system
  • Restoring steering response after component wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front position and vehicle fitment before installation on Mercedes-Benz E300 or Mercedes-Benz E320 applications. Inspect related steering components, alignment settings, and fasteners during service. After replacement, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore correct steering geometry.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-focused engineering and durability testing for its steering portfolio, including temperature cycling below -40 degrees C and above 120 degrees C, plus extended salt-spray exposure. The TL398 is built to meet standard replacement expectations for front steering service.
