Description
Overview:
The Ball Joint M8 RH for JCB excavators is a non-genuine replacement part designed to restore precise movement in mechanical linkages. Made from durable steel, it features an M8 right-hand thread for straightforward fitment into standard linkage points on popular machines such as the JCB 3CX and 4CX. This ball joint connects moving components, helping to reduce play and maintain smooth, controlled motion under load. It is engineered as a direct alternative to OEM reference 331/20202, offering reliable performance for routine maintenance or repairs. Suitable for harsh site conditions, it supports accurate operation in everyday digging, loading and general handling tasks where consistent articulation and alignment are essential.
Key Features:
- M8 right-hand threaded ball joint compatible with JCB linkage points
- Direct replacement for OEM reference 331/20202 to simplify selection
- Precision-machined ball and socket for smooth articulation and reduced backlash
- Robust steel construction for long service life in demanding environments
- Helps remove slack in worn joints to improve control and responsiveness
- Corrosion-resistant finish suited to outdoor and wet conditions
- Easy to fit using standard hand tools and existing fixings, minimising downtime
- Stable performance across a wide operating temperature range
- Suitable for multiple JCB models to aid fleet maintenance
- Cost-effective non-genuine alternative without compromising function
Typical Applications:
Used across excavator and backhoe loader linkages, including control rods, boom and bucket mechanisms, stabiliser leg linkages and auxiliary attachment connections. Ideal for replacing worn joints that cause play, vibration or misalignment, helping maintain accurate control and smooth operation in construction, agriculture and general plant tasks.
