Description
Overview:
This ball joint is a heavy-duty linkage component for JCB diggers and Loadall telehandlers, supplied as a non-genuine replacement for OEM reference 448/17902. Made from robust steel with a precision ball-and-socket design, it allows smooth angular movement while keeping linkages tight and controlled. It is used where rods and arms need to articulate under load, helping to maintain accurate steering and linkage performance. Engineered to match the fit and function of the original part, it suits demanding site conditions and routine fleet maintenance. Ideal for popular machines such as the JCB 3CX and 531-70, it helps restore confidence in machine control when existing joints show wear, play, or binding.
Key Features:
- Non-genuine replacement part for OEM 448/17902
- Steel ball-and-socket construction for smooth articulation under load
- Designed to match OEM fit and geometry across many JCB applications
- Helps reduce play and restore precise steering/linkage feel
- Built for harsh site use with shock and vibration in mind
- Direct-fit replacement to minimise downtime in typical installations
- Suitable for backhoe loaders and Loadall telehandlers
- Low-maintenance, closed design helps resist ingress of dirt and grit
Typical Applications:
Used in steering and chassis linkages, loader and implement pivots, and other articulation points on JCB backhoe loaders and telehandlers. Common during routine service or when refurbishing worn joints to remove knock, improve tracking, and maintain smooth operation during excavation, loading, and material handling.
Also known as:
Ball and socket joint, spherical joint, pivot joint, linkage joint, spherical bearing joint.
