Detailed Description

The Hengst E26H power steering hydraulic filter is designed for Mercedes-Benz vehicles that use a cartridge-type steering filter. Its cellulose media helps capture contaminants circulating through the hydraulic steering system, supporting cleaner fluid flow through the pump, lines, and steering gear. This part number E26H is listed for applications such as 2005 Mercedes-Benz G500, 1999-2003 Mercedes-Benz CLK430, 1998-2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK320, 1997-2000 Mercedes-Benz C230, 1997-2000 Mercedes-Benz C280, 1998-2000 Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG, and 1984-1993 Mercedes-Benz 190E. This part cross-references Mercedes-Benz OE numbers 0004661304 and A0004661304 for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a clogged or restricted Mercedes-Benz power steering hydraulic filter
• Addressing noisy steering pump operation caused by contaminated fluid
• Restoring smoother hydraulic fluid circulation in the steering system
• Supporting service on vehicles with cartridge-style steering filter housings
• Maintaining filtration in older and newer Mercedes-Benz steering applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s steering filter housing and OE part number before installation. This cartridge-style filter is used in Mercedes-Benz power steering hydraulic systems, so the housing should be inspected for debris, wear, or fluid contamination during service. Replace the filter during steering fluid maintenance and confirm the correct application by model year, since fitment varies across Mercedes-Benz chassis.
