Mercedes-Benz eVito Front Inner Track Rod
This Mercedes-Benz eVito front inner track rod connects the steering rack to the tie rod end, transferring your steering movements to the front wheel. Its ball joint sits inside the steering rack boot, so wear is not always easy to see.
Specifications at a glance: inner thread M16 x 1.5, length 250 mm and outside thread M16 x 1.5.
Signs Your Front Inner Track Rod Needs Replacing
Signs of a worn inner tie rod include a knock or clunk through the steering, vague or wandering steering at speed and uneven wear on the front tyres. Play in the joint is an MOT failure. Catching these signs early usually means a simpler and cheaper repair. Electric cars are heavy and very quiet, so worn parts are often noticed sooner than on a petrol car.
Fitment
It fits the Mercedes-Benz eVito and EQV. In detail, that covers the Mercedes-Benz eVito (447) 2019 on and Mercedes-Benz EQV (447) 2020 on. Across the range, it covers versions from 85 kW to 150 kW. Fitting position: front axle left and front axle right. If you are not sure which version you have, your V5C logbook and the part number on your existing part will help you match it.
Quality and Part Numbers
It is made by Febi, a long-established German parts brand, to match the original part in fit and function. That makes it a factory-quality replacement that fits without modification. The Febi part number is 170779. It replaces Mercedes-Benz part number 447 460 00 55. As a direct replacement, it uses the same mountings and connections as the original. Check the part number on your existing part matches before ordering.
Fitting Advice
Fit a new steering rack gaiter at the same time and have the wheel alignment set afterwards. A new steering rack boot is worth fitting at the same time. Check the outer tie rod end on the same side. Using the correct replacement part keeps your car working as its maker intended. If you are not confident fitting it yourself, any good independent garage can fit it for you. Keeping on top of worn parts also helps your car sail through its next MOT. Take a photo of the old part before you remove it, so you can compare it with the new one.
