Description
Overview:
The 8mm Ball Joint Tie Rod End Zinc Plated is a compact linkage component for steering and control connections on construction and garden machinery. Made from steel with a zinc-plated finish, it resists corrosion in wet, dirty, and outdoor conditions. The spherical ball allows smooth multi‐axis movement to accommodate misalignment while keeping linkages tight and responsive. An 8mm (0.31 inches) through hole accepts a standard M8 bolt for secure fixing to brackets and arms. The housing has a 35.4mm (1.39 inches) barrel length, giving a neat, space‐saving fit on small plant, compact tractors, ride‐on mowers, tillers, and similar equipment. Use it to restore positive control where a rigid rod needs free articulation without excessive play, helping maintain consistent operation and reducing wear on pins and brackets.
Key Features:
- Zinc-plated steel construction for strong, long‐lasting performance and corrosion resistance in outdoor use
- 8mm (0.31 inches) through hole suits M8 fixings for a familiar, secure mounting method
- 35.4mm (1.39 inches) barrel length for compact installations and tight spaces
- Smooth spherical articulation helps prevent binding and absorbs minor misalignment
- Straightforward to fit with a suitable M8 bolt, washer, and nut; easy to replace like-for-like
- Helps restore crisp steering and control response in worn linkage points
- Suitable for steering arms, throttle/governor rods, deck lift linkages, and general control rods on small plant and garden machinery
- Silver zinc finish aids quick visual inspection for wear, dirt, or damage
Typical Applications:
Used on steering linkages of small construction equipment, pivots on ride‐on mower deck lifts, throttle and governor control rods, brake or pedal linkages, and general actuator connections on cultivators, compact tractors, and utility vehicles. Ideal wherever an M8 bolt interface and a 35.4mm (1.39 inches) barrel length provide the right fit, giving reliable, low‐maintenance movement in demanding outdoor environments.
