Mercedes Sprinter Inner Tie Rod – TRW | NCV3 & VS30 AWD | #9064600155 (2010–2024)

A worn inner tie rod on a NCV3 Sprinter allows play to develop between the steering rack and the outer tie rod end — producing a vague, loose steering feel, causing steering wander, and in advanced wear creating a knock detectable when rocking the steering wheel at idle. This is the TRW inner tie rod (axial joint) for NCV3 Sprinters and VS30 Sprinters with AWD, a direct OEM-quality replacement that restores precise, play-free steering rack-to-knuckle connection. TRW is a primary OEM steering and suspension supplier to Mercedes-Benz.

What This Part Does

The inner tie rod connects the steering rack output to the inner end of the tie rod assembly via a spherical ball joint that transfers lateral rack motion into front wheel steering angle while accommodating the angular movement of the front suspension in travel. When the ball socket wears, looseness develops in the steering system — first perceived as vague on-center feel, then as a knock, and finally as measurable play between the rack and tie rod.

Common Symptoms of a Failing Inner Tie Rod

• Vague or imprecise steering, particularly on center
• Steering wander requiring constant correction
• Clunking or knocking from the steering when turning or over bumps
• Uneven front tire wear from changed toe angle
• Play when the front wheel is rocked at 9 and 3 o'clock

When to Replace

Replace when play is confirmed in the inner tie rod. Always replace inner and outer tie rod ends together on the affected side. Always perform a wheel alignment after tie rod service.
