Description
The outer tie rod ends are the link between the inner tie rod and the steering knuckle on your Mercedes-Benz. They utilize a ball socket to articulate to any needed position while driving, but like any component in your steering or suspension system that utilizes a ball socket, the outer tie rod ends can wear out, and need to be replaced.
Symptoms that your outer tie rod ends need to be replaced can include clunking noises coming from the front end when you drive over bumps, or an overall loose or wandering feeling while driving.
If your outer tie rod ends are starting to exhibit signs of wear, they must be replaced to keep your vehicle traveling safely down the road.
