0018117014 mirror arm LH – Compatible with MERCEDES-BENZ ACTROS MP4 / ANTOS / AROCS

0018117014 mirror arm is a left-side (LHD) replacement mirror arm for a 2300 vehicle width configuration, engineered for trucks compatible with MERCEDES-BENZ Actros MP4, Antos, and Arocs when reference and mounting points match. Based on OE references 0018117014 and A0018117014, it is commonly selected during high-mileage service after vibration damage, depot maneuvering contact, or progressive loosening that causes mirror shake and frequent readjustment. Fitment should be confirmed by OE reference and mounting configuration before ordering.

Built around controlled dimensional tolerances at the stable mounting bracket interface, the arm geometry supports consistent mirror positioning under long-haul route operation and regional distribution trucks where wind load is constant. Corrosion-resistant surface protection and rigid structural design help reduce joint play over time, while attention to moisture ingress protection at mounting areas supports reliable use in wet weather and low-light working conditions.

During installation, technicians typically compare bolt spacing, seating faces, and guide pin alignment (where applicable) to ensure the arm sits flush without twist. The 0018117014 mirror arm is designed for direct-fit installation and, depending on vehicle configuration, may require a wiring harness match for powered mirror functions via a sealed connector interface. After tightening in sequence, verify door clearance, mirror adjustment range, and stability with a short vibration check.

For fleet inventory planning, recording 0018117014 mirror arm on job cards and bin labels improves warehouse picking accuracy across similar-looking arms. Supplied as 1 unit per box with a packing weight of 1.60 kg, it supports predictable handling for workshop stocking. If servicing both sides, confirm the opposite-hand reference separately to avoid mix-ups between left and right configurations.

• OE-led labeling: print 0018117014 clearly to increase warehouse picking accuracy for mirror arm stock.
• Workshop readiness: supports fleet maintenance scheduling and fast turnaround after depot maneuvering incidents.
• Protective packing: 1 unit per box helps reduce scuffing and bending risk during internal transfers.
• SKU planning: keeps left-side coverage available for common roadside damage and vibration-related wear.
• Pairing strategy: supports SKU pairing (LH/RH) when fleets standardize mirror service procedures.

1. Park on level ground, apply the parking brake, and switch off ignition.
2. Disconnect the battery if the mirror assembly includes powered functions.
3. Support the mirror assembly to prevent load on the door bracket during removal.
4. Remove any covers or trim pieces to access the fixing points.
5. If equipped, unplug the harness carefully and inspect the connector interface.
6. Mark the original arm position for easier alignment during refit.
7. Remove fasteners evenly to avoid twisting the mounting bracket.
8. Inspect mounting faces for distortion, cracks, or elongated bolt holes.
9. Check seating surfaces and guide pin alignment features (if present).
10. Install the replacement arm and tighten in sequence to keep the arm seated flush.
11. Confirm mirror adjustment range and function checks according to the vehicle setup.
12. Verify seal integrity and general moisture ingress protection around mounting points.
13. Perform a short vibration check and re-torque if required after initial seating.
14. Record the OE reference for service history and repeat ordering.

Designed for direct-fit installation with plug-and-play compatibility depending on configuration, and no special tools required for standard workshop procedures.

Fitment should be confirmed by OE reference and mounting configuration before ordering. This page is provided for aftermarket identification and service replacement based on reference matching and vehicle-side mounting verification.

• Material performance intent: engineered for commercial vehicle use with durability under vibration and weather exposure.
• Alignment intent: designed to support stable mirror positioning and consistent field-of-view behavior when installed correctly.
• Installation compatibility: verify bracket interface, fastening locations, and wiring harness match (if applicable) before final tightening.
• OE references covered: 0018117014, A0018117014.
