Track rod end 331/23192S JCB 4CX, aftermarket

For the JCB 4CX backhoe loaders: track rod end 331/23192S, an aftermarket part. This part is a track rod end that connects the rod to the knuckle arm.

The ball joint is chosen by part number according to its taper size, thread hand (right or left) and body design, and two-wheel and four-wheel-steer machines may use different joints. When replacing it, check that the track rod is straight and its thread sound. Ball joints wear faster on machines that travel often by road between sites.

Fitting

Before removing the old joint, mark or measure its position on the rod so the new one is set to the same length. Separate the taper with a splitter; fit the new joint's taper clean and dry, tighten the nut to the specified torque and fit a new split pin. After fitting, check the wheel alignment. The part comes new; before fitting, check that the boot is intact, the taper clean and the thread undamaged. Also check the ball joint at the other end of the rod and the knuckle trunnions for play, since if all the play in the steering is not removed the new part will soon be overloaded. Recheck the nut torque after the first hours of work.
