The part number ES3315 is listed for multiple Mercedes-Benz models, including SL500, SL600, SL320, E420, and E500 applications, with one fitment note calling for right hand threads on the 400E. MOOG is known for adding design improvements that simplify replacement and extend service life, making ES3315 a practical choice when restoring steering linkage precision. This part cross-references Delphi TA1528 and Carlson 14141 for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrecting steering looseness at the outer linkage point.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacing worn threads that affect toe settings and alignment retention.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddressing play, clunking, or imprecise steering response.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestoring proper steering linkage geometry after wear-related service.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify the outer position and thread direction before installation, especially on 1992-1993 Mercedes-Benz 400E applications with right hand threads.
