Mercedes Steering Column - Genuine Mercedes 1724600516

Product Information

The steering column system is crucial for vehicle control, providing the structural support and housing for the components that allow the driver to steer. It connects the steering wheel to the steering gear, translating the driver's input into wheel movement.

• Wear in bearings or bushings can lead to loose steering or play in the wheel.
• Damage to electrical components within the column can result in issues with turn signals, wipers, or other steering wheel-mounted controls.
• Corrosion or impact can compromise the structural integrity of the column, affecting steering responsiveness and safety.

About Genuine Mercedes

The original parts used by Mercedes Benz to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Mercedes Benz” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Mercedes Benz, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Mercedes Benz Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Mercedes-Benz are not necessarily manufactured by Mercedes-Benz. No cause for concern, as Mercedes-Benz designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Mercedes-Benz for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Mercedes-Benz logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
