Used track rods vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
Yes, the B-Class is a front-wheel-drive car (across all generations) and uses a conventional front subframe with track rods as part of its steering linkage, so the part does exist on this model. Track rods connect the steering rack to the wheel hub and are a standard component you would expect to find at any breaker who has dismantled a B-Class.
The W245 (first generation, 2005–2011) and the W246 (second generation, 2012–2018) are entirely different platforms with different front suspension geometry, so the track rods are not interchangeable between them. Always source a track rod that matches your generation — confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before buying.
The W246 received a facelift in 2015, but whether this affected track rod dimensions is not something that can be confirmed with certainty — the steering geometry may well be unchanged, but mid-generation running gear updates do sometimes occur. Name the generation (W246) and give the breaker your full registration so they can check the exact part number matches yours.
For the B-Class specifically, track rod fitment is primarily determined by generation (W245 or W246) rather than engine size, as all variants share the same front-wheel-drive platform and steering rack layout. That said, if your car is fitted with the 4MATIC all-wheel-drive variant of the W246, confirm with the breaker whether the front steering components differ, as the drivetrain layout can influence front suspension parts.
No, trim level does not affect track rod fitment on the B-Class — Sport, SE, and AMG Line trims share the same steering geometry and the track rod is identical across those grades. Bear in mind that if you are buying a used part it may carry road dirt or paint from the donor car, but that has no bearing on whether it will fit your vehicle.
Yes — track rods are handed, meaning the nearside (NS, left as you sit in the car) and offside (OS, right) are different parts, so you must specify which side you need when contacting a breaker. Getting the side wrong is a straightforward mistake to make on the phone, so double-check before ordering.
