Description
Overview:
The 3/8" UNF Ball Joint Tie Rod End is a durable joint for steering and linkage duties on construction and garden machinery. Made from zinc-plated steel, it resists rust and abrasive wear in outdoor conditions. The 3/8 inch (9.53 mm) Unified Fine thread suits many control rods and steering arms, helping restore precise movement where play has developed. The ball-and-socket allows smooth rotation and angular misalignment, supporting accurate control under vibration and load. Suitable for equipment such as ride-on mowers, garden tractors, compact site dumpers and small loaders, it is a practical replacement part for routine maintenance. Its straightforward, compact design makes it easy to install with basic tools, providing a reliable, long-lasting joint for everyday use.
Key Features:
- 3/8" UNF (9.53 mm) thread for common steering and linkage assemblies
- Zinc-plated steel resists corrosion for long service life in wet and dirty environments
- Smooth ball-and-socket articulation for precise, consistent control
- Fine thread helps accurate length adjustment when setting linkage or steering geometry
- Compact body fits tight spaces on small plant and garden machinery
- Straightforward to fit and replace using basic hand tools
- Robust construction withstands vibration and frequent movement
- Versatile replacement across many makes where matching thread and dimensions are required
- Bright silver finish for easy visual inspection during maintenance
Typical Applications:
Used on steering linkages of ride-on mowers and garden tractors, control rods on mower decks, governor and throttle linkages, and articulation points on compact site machinery such as mini dumpers and small loaders. Suitable wherever a 3/8 in (9.53 mm) UNF threaded ball joint is needed to provide smooth, controlled movement and reduce play.
