If ts a track rod end it will be the ball joint thats worn, if so change both sides. Its a cheap and easy fix DIY, just note position on thread on sterring arm for re assembly and when done just get it tracked up to double check.
If its the anti roll bar, and if loose thats very unusual but if so will just need rubber bushes. should be a cheap fix if you get the bushes from a MB dealer as per W170. How do you know its loose, is it rattling?
