Description
Overview:
The 54mm Steering Ram End Bearing for Thwaites dumpers (MPN T2162) is a heavy-duty spherical bearing used at the end of the steering hydraulic ram to allow smooth, self-aligning movement under load. Built from robust metal for site use, it helps maintain precise steering and reduces wear across the linkage. With a 32mm inner diameter for a precise fit on the ram pin, this bearing is suitable for Thwaites machines working in demanding conditions. It is commonly fitted to popular models such as the MACH 220 and MACH 221, among others in the Thwaites range. Use it to replace worn bearings and restore steering accuracy on 2 tonne, 6 tonne and 9 tonne dumpers operating on construction, civils and landscaping sites.
Key Features:
- 32mm inner diameter for an accurate fit on the steering ram end pin
- 54mm size designation to match the Thwaites steering ram end housing
- Spherical bearing design allows self-alignment to cope with chassis and axle articulation
- Robust metal construction for high shock loads, vibration and abrasive site conditions
- Helps maintain smooth steering response and reduces play in the linkage
- Direct replacement for Thwaites part number T2162 for reliable compatibility
- Suitable for 2 tonne, 6 tonne and 9 tonne Thwaites dumper classes
- Straightforward swap during routine maintenance to minimise downtime
- Engineered for long service life in construction and industrial environments
- Supports safe, predictable handling when manoeuvring fully loaded machines
Typical Applications:
Used in the steering cylinder rod end on Thwaites dumpers to restore or maintain steering precision. Ideal when correcting excessive play, knocking, or uneven tyre wear caused by a worn joint. Common during scheduled servicing, steering overhauls, or pre-hire checks on site dumpers working on building sites, utilities, quarries and landscaping projects.
