Used Mercedes-Benz EQS Track Rod

Yes, the EQS does have track rods as part of its front steering system, and depending on the variant it may also have rear track rods as part of its rear-axle steering setup, which is fitted to many EQS models. The EQS uses a conventional steering linkage arrangement despite being fully electric, so track rods are genuine serviceable parts on this vehicle. If you are looking for a rear steering track rod specifically, make sure to tell the breaker whether you need the front or rear, as they are different components.

The Mercedes-Benz EQS first-generation range launched in 2022 for UK buyers and has continued in that generation without a significant structural mid-life facelift that is known to have changed the steering geometry or track rod specification. That said, whether a specific used track rod from an earlier car crosses over to a later build date is something you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration, as running gear components can see quiet mid-production updates. Give the breaker your VIN or reg so they can verify the part number before you commit.

The EQS 580 4MATIC is a heavier, higher-powered variant with four-wheel drive, and steering and suspension components on heavier or more powerful variants can differ from those on the single-motor rear-wheel-drive 450+. It is therefore not safe to assume the track rods are interchangeable between these two variants, and you should confirm with the breaker quoting against your specific registration and the part numbers from your vehicle. The drivetrain layout difference alone - RWD versus AWD - is enough to make this a question worth checking carefully.

Trim level on the EQS, such as AMG Line styling packs, does not affect the track rod specification - these are cosmetic packages and do not change the steering or suspension geometry. What matters for fitment is the motor variant (e.g. 450+, 450 4MATIC, 580 4MATIC) and whether your car has the optional rear-axle steering fitted. When contacting a breaker, focus on the drivetrain variant and whether rear steering is present, and ignore trim name differences.

Yes, if your EQS is fitted with rear-axle steering (which is standard or optional depending on variant), the rear steering assembly includes its own track rods that are completely different from the front steering track rods. These rear track rods are not interchangeable with front ones and are also not present on any EQS that was not built with rear-axle steering. Tell the breaker clearly whether you need a front or rear track rod, and confirm whether the donor vehicle they are breaking also has rear-axle steering fitted.

The EQE and EQS share the same EVA2 electric vehicle platform and have broadly similar architecture, but they are different-length vehicles with different wheelbases and suspension tuning, so track rod fitment between the two models is not guaranteed. This is something you should route directly to the breaker, quoting both your registration and asking them to check part numbers from both vehicles before purchasing. Do not assume platform sharing means parts interchange without that specific verification.
