Description
Overview:
The Steering Ram Bush for Thwaites dumpers is a genuine Thwaites part engineered to restore tight, accurate steering by supporting the pivot point of the hydraulic steering ram. Built from durable, wear-resistant materials, it helps control radial loads, reduce play, and maintain correct alignment between the ram and chassis or axle brackets. As an OEM direct replacement (OEM No. T53447), it offers the correct tolerances for a reliable fit in the steering linkage. Ideal for routine maintenance or repairs on busy fleets and site machines, it suits a wide range of Thwaites dumpers, including the M465 and M466, and keeps steering precise under vibration, shock, and dirt typical of construction and landscaping work.
