A buyer's guide to used Mercedes-Benz CLA track rod

Fitment questions

Does a track rod from a first-generation CLA (C117, 2013–2019) fit a second-generation CLA (C118, 2019–present)?

No – the C117 and C118 are completely different platforms with different front subframe and steering geometry, so track rods from the two generations do not interchange. Always tell the breaker your exact registration so they can pull the right part for your generation.

Will a track rod from a pre-facelift CLA C117 (2013–2016) fit a facelifted C117 (2016–2019)?

Both sit on the same C117 platform and the steering geometry was not significantly revised at the 2016 facelift, so fitment is generally consistent across the pre-facelift and facelifted C117. That said, confirm the part number with the breaker against your registration before purchasing, as minor running changes can occur within a generation.

Does engine size affect which track rod I need on the Mercedes-Benz CLA?

For the CLA the track rod fitment is primarily determined by generation (C117 or C118) rather than engine size, as the steering layout does not vary significantly between the four-cylinder petrol and diesel variants. Confirm with the breaker against your registration if you have any doubt, particularly if your car has the AMG performance variants which may carry different front-end specifications.

Does trim level affect CLA track rod fitment – for example, does it matter if I have a Sport, AMG Line, or AMG 45?

Trim level itself – whether Sport, AMG Line, or Urban – does not change the track rod, as steering geometry is not a trim-dependent item on the CLA. The CLA 45 AMG and CLA 45 S are performance variants that share the same basic front steering layout but have uprated suspension components, so confirm with the breaker against your registration if you have one of those models to be safe.

Is there a track rod on the Mercedes-Benz CLA at all, and is it on both sides?

Yes, the CLA is a front-wheel-drive based platform (with optional 4MATIC four-wheel drive on some variants) and has a conventional rack-and-pinion steering system, so track rods – one on each side – are a genuine part of this car. When requesting a quote, specify whether you need the nearside (NS, left) or offside (OS, right) track rod, as they are handed parts and not interchangeable with each other.

Can I use a CLA track rod from any year of C118 (2019–present) on my newer C118?

Within the C118 generation the track rod fitment is generally consistent, but it is worth noting that minor running changes can be introduced during a model's production life without a formal facelift. Confirm the part number with your breaker against your exact registration to make sure you are getting the correct item for your build date.
