It is specifically designed for the W638 chassis (1996-2003). Please verify your specific vehicle identification number (VIN) against the listed OE numbers.
The part number 21450 refers to a single tie rod assembly.
Standard mechanic's tools including a ball joint separator, wrenches, and a torque wrench are typically required.
While technically possible for experienced DIYers, professional installation is recommended due to the safety-critical nature of the steering system.
This component is generally maintenance-free and comes pre-lubricated from the factory.
The vehicle requires a professional four-wheel alignment to set proper toe and steering geometry.
Verify the thread pitch (M16 x 1.5) and ensure no debris is present in the steering rack housing.
Check other steering and suspension components, such as control arms or wheel bearings, for wear.
This tie rod assembly is designed for the front axle of the Mercedes-Benz Vito and V-Class (W638) produced from 1996 to 2003. It acts as a replacement for OE numbers A6384600048, A6384600205, A6384600055, and A6384600255.
Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic using a torque wrench. After installation, it is mandatory to perform a professional four-wheel alignment to prevent premature tire wear and ensure vehicle stability. Regularly inspect the rubber dust boots on the tie rod ends during routine oil changes for any cracks or tears that could allow dirt to enter the joint.
