Detailed Description

This steering tie rod end is engineered as a direct OE replacement for Mercedes-Benz GL-Class and M-Class models that use a front right outer tie rod configuration. Dorman 544-002 helps restore steering linkage integrity when the original part is worn, loose, or damaged, and its steel housing with powder-coated finish supports durable service in demanding front suspension environments. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-6857 and Delphi TA2648 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Steering play or looseness at the front right outer linkage
• Uneven or unstable steering feel
• Clunking or knocking from worn steering components
• Front-end alignment issues caused by tie rod wear
• Visible corrosion or damage on the original tie rod end

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the front right outer position before installation and confirm vehicle application by year, make, and model. After replacement, perform a professional wheel alignment to set steering geometry correctly. Inspect related steering and suspension components at the same time, including the inner tie rod, boots, and control arm joints, to avoid repeat service.

Quality Assurance

Dorman subjects this tie rod end to an industry-leading evaluation process to help ensure smooth, safe operation. The part number is 544-002.
