W460 RHD Steering Arm

The drag link (Lenkstange) that runs from the Pitman arm (Lenkstockhebel) on the steering gearbox to the steering arm on the right-side knuckle is the main longitudinal steering link on a W460.

Primary OEM part numbers

Additional context

• On early W460s the drag link was sometimes described as a two-part assembly (long/short ends); later versions are typically a complete one-piece rod with ball joints.
• It is distinct from the center/tie rod (track rod) that connects the left and right steering arms across the axle.
• The Pitman arm itself (early LHD example) is often 460 463 00 01.

Recommendation: Confirm with your VIN or by measuring the existing link (length, cone size, thread) because there is a change around chassis ~007239 and differences between LHD and RHD. Specialist G-Class suppliers (or a Mercedes EPC lookup) can verify the exact number for your vehicle. Aftermarket equivalents (Lemförder, MOOG, etc.) are widely available for the common A4604635115 / A4634630015 numbers.

Quality aftermarket (Lemförder, MOOG, SKF, TRW, etc.)

• Lemförder (e.g. 12920 01): typically €130–€165
• MOOG (e.g. DB-DS-6135): often €65–€80

Notes

• Prices fluctuate with location, VAT, shipping, and stock. EU listings are often cheapest for aftermarket; US/export prices can be higher.
• Good aftermarket (especially Lemförder) is widely used and usually a practical choice over scarce/expensive genuine.
• Confirm the exact number (early vs. later, LHD vs. RHD) with your VIN before ordering, as the wrong length or cone size won’t fit.
• Check current stock and total cost (including shipping) on sites like Autodoc, Amazon, eBay, specialist G-Class parts sellers, or Mercedes dealers.
