Fitment questions
Does the Mercedes-Benz GLE actually have a steering column?
Yes, every variant of the Mercedes-Benz GLE has a steering column — it connects the steering wheel to the steering rack and is a fundamental part of the steering system on all engine and drivetrain versions. Whether you have a petrol, diesel, hybrid, or AMG variant, the steering column will be present.
Will a steering column from a first-generation GLE (W166, 2015–2018) fit a second-generation GLE (V167, 2019 onwards)?
No — the W166 (2015–2018) and V167 (2019 onwards) are entirely different generations with different platforms, steering systems, and column designs, so parts from one will not transfer to the other. Always source a steering column from the same generation as your vehicle, and confirm compatibility with the breaker against your exact registration to be safe.
Do I need to match the engine size when buying a used GLE steering column?
For the steering column itself, engine size does not affect fitment — unlike brakes or running gear, the steering column is not varied according to engine output across the standard GLE range. That said, AMG high-performance variants may carry different steering column assemblies, so if your car is an AMG model, let the breaker know your registration so they can verify the correct part.
Does trim level affect which steering column I need — for example, does an AMG Line GLE need a different column to a standard Sport or SE model?
Trim level alone — whether AMG Line, Sport, or SE — does not change the steering column itself, as these are cosmetic and equipment packages rather than changes to the core steering hardware. However, if your car has optional features such as steer-by-wire or a tilt/reach adjustment mechanism, it is worth confirming with the breaker that the used column includes the same functions, as these features may vary by specification.
I have a 2018 GLE — will a column from a 2019 car fit it?
This is a generation boundary: 2018 falls in the first-generation W166, while 2019 marks the start of the second-generation V167, which has a redesigned platform and steering system. A 2019 column will not be a straightforward swap onto a 2018 car — confirm with the breaker against both registrations before purchasing.
Does it matter if the steering column comes from a right-hand-drive or left-hand-drive GLE?
Yes, this matters significantly — UK-spec GLE models are right-hand drive, and a steering column from a left-hand-drive export model will not be compatible. When approaching a breaker, make clear you need a right-hand-drive column and verify this against your registration to avoid ending up with the wrong part.
