FAQs

What is an Inner Track Rod?

An Inner Track Rod is a component of a vehicle's steering system that connects the steering rack to the steering knuckle. It plays a crucial role in translating steering wheel movements into the precise angle of the wheels.

How do I know if my tie rod needs replacing?

Signs of a failing tie rod include a loose feeling in the steering wheel, clunking noises when turning, uneven tire wear, and the vehicle pulling to one side. Regular inspections by a mechanic are recommended.

Is this tie rod compatible with my non-MERCEDES-BENZ vehicle?

No, this specific Lemforder Tie Rod (34605 01) is designed exclusively for MERCEDES-BENZ E-Klasse Limousine (W212) and E-Klasse T-modell (S212) models with specified power steering types.

What is the difference between M14x1.5 and M16x1.5 threads?

These refer to the diameter and pitch of the threads. M14x1.5 has a 14mm diameter and 1.5mm thread pitch, while M16x1.5 has a 16mm diameter and 1.5mm thread pitch. They are not interchangeable.

Can I install this myself?

While technically possible, installing steering components is critical for safety. Professional installation by a qualified mechanic is highly recommended to ensure correct fitment, torque, and subsequent wheel alignment.

What is the benefit of using a Lemforder part?

Lemforder is known for producing high-quality automotive components, often as original equipment suppliers. Using a Lemforder tie rod provides assurance of durable materials and precise engineering for reliable steering performance.

Do I need to perform a wheel alignment after installation?

Yes, a wheel alignment is absolutely essential after replacing any steering components, including tie rods, to ensure proper handling, tire wear, and safety.

Troubleshooting

Steering feels loose or has excessive play

This could indicate a worn tie rod. Ensure the tie rod is properly tightened and check for wear on the ball joint. A professional inspection and alignment may be required.

Clunking or knocking noise when turning

A worn tie rod end is a common cause. Inspect the tie rod for damage or looseness. Professional replacement and alignment are necessary if the tie rod is faulty.

Uneven tire wear

Improper wheel alignment, often caused by worn steering components like tie rods, leads to uneven tire wear. A professional alignment is required after tie rod replacement.

Vehicle pulls to one side

This can be a sign of misalignment due to worn steering parts. Replace the faulty tie rod and perform a wheel alignment.
