Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner M2 Business Class Steering Parts & Accessories

Will these steering parts fit my specific year and model of Freightliner M2?

Most of our steering components are designed to fit Freightliner M2 Business Class trucks from 2003 to present. However, there are variations between model years, especially in trucks manufactured before and after 2011. Always check the product description for specific year ranges, and verify your truck's VIN and build date. For power steering pumps and gear boxes, compatibility often depends on your engine type (Cummins ISB, Cat C7, or Mercedes MBE900/906). When in doubt, contact us with your VIN for exact fitment confirmation.

What's the difference between OEM and aftermarket steering components, and which should I choose?

OEM steering parts are manufactured to Freightliner's exact specifications and typically carry warranties of 1-2 years. Aftermarket options from trusted brands like TRW, Saginaw, and Moog often provide comparable quality at 20-40% less cost. For critical components like steering gear boxes and drag links, we recommend OEM or premium aftermarket brands. For items like tie rod ends and stabilizer bushings, quality aftermarket parts perform excellently. All our aftermarket suppliers meet or exceed DOT safety standards.

Can I install these steering parts myself, or do I need special tools?

While experienced mechanics can install most steering components, certain parts require specialized tools and knowledge. Tie rod ends and drag links typically need a pitman arm puller and proper torque specifications (usually 185-250 ft-lbs). Steering gear box replacement requires precise alignment and often hydraulic line work. Power steering pumps need proper bleeding procedures to prevent damage. We strongly recommend professional installation for steering gear boxes and having your alignment checked after any steering component replacement.

How do I know when my steering components need replacement?

Common signs include excessive play in the steering wheel (more than 2 inches), wandering or pulling while driving, uneven tire wear, clunking noises when turning, and visible grease leaks from ball joints or tie rod ends. For power steering issues, watch for whining noises, difficulty turning, or foaming fluid. Federal DOT regulations require less than 10 degrees of steering wheel lash. During pre-trip inspections, check for worn bushings, loose connections, or damaged boots on all steering components.

What's included with steering component purchases, and what else might I need?

Most individual steering parts come with necessary mounting hardware but check each product description for specifics. Tie rod ends typically include castle nuts and cotter pins. Steering gear boxes usually come filled with fluid but may not include mounting bolts. You'll often need additional items like power steering fluid (usually Dexron III/Mercon ATF), new hydraulic lines or fittings if yours are worn, and alignment services after installation. Consider purchasing complete rebuild kits for comprehensive repairs, as they include all seals, bushings, and small parts needed for the job.
