Key Features
- Direct replacement for the original equipment tie rod end
- Fits front left outer steering positions on select Mercedes-Benz vehicles
- Threaded design with female and male end configurations
- Steel housing with powder-coated finish
- Polymer bearing material and polychloroprene dust boot material
- Includes mounting hardware
- Part number: 543-989
Detailed Description
This steering tie rod end is engineered for select Mercedes-Benz C230, C280, C350, CLK350, CLK550, CLK63 AMG, SLK300, SLK350, SLK55 AMG, and related models with front left outer steering applications. Dorman 543-989 follows the OE replacement format for a precise service fit and stable steering response. It also cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Built with a steel housing, powder-coated finish, polymer bearing material, and a polychloroprene dust boot, this tie rod end is made for steering service where accurate linkage movement matters. The threaded construction and included hardware support replacement work on the front suspension and steering system. Part number 543-989 is a practical choice when servicing worn steering linkage on Mercedes-Benz C-Class, CLK-Class, and SLK-Class vehicles.
What It Helps Address
- Loose or imprecise steering feel
- Clunking or play from a worn outer tie rod end
- Uneven front tire wear caused by steering linkage wear
- Steering pull or wandering at the front left outer position
- Restoration of proper steering response after suspension service
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify vehicle year, model, and front left outer position before installation. After replacing the tie rod end, perform a professional wheel alignment to restore steering geometry. Inspect the adjacent steering components, including the inner tie rod and related bushings, while the system is apart. Confirm thread engagement and torque fasteners to the vehicle service specification.
Quality Assurance
Dorman subjects this replacement tie rod end to an industry-leading evaluation process to help confirm smooth, safe operation. The part is built as a direct OE-style replacement for the listed Mercedes-Benz applications and is backed by Dorman product engineering standards.
