Product Overview
The joint transfers steering movement while allowing the linkage to articulate with axle motion. Free play, torn dust boots or looseness at the joint can cause steering wander, tire wear, clunking and difficulty holding alignment.
Kubota parts breakdowns distinguish the complete tie-rod assembly from the individual joint, rod, dust cover and hardware.
Key Features & Performance
- Restores steering linkage integrity: Transfers steering movement while allowing the linkage to articulate through suspension/axle motion.
- Targets looseness and wear: Joint play can contribute to wander, clunks, uneven tire wear and poor alignment.
- Diagram-based fitment: Verify whether the worn item is the joint, rod or complete tie-rod assembly in the machine parts diagram.
- Product-specific note: Kubota parts breakdowns distinguish the complete tie-rod assembly from the individual joint, rod, dust cover and hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I confirm this is the correct part?
Verify the joint number and steering diagram for your exact model/serial; left/right linkage arrangements can differ.
Is this an OEM part?
Unless the listing is explicitly identified as genuine/OEM in the product data, treat it as a replacement component. Use the verified reference numbers, equipment application and physical configuration above to match your original part.
What should I check before installation?
Check which end/joint is worn before ordering a complete assembly versus this service component.
Fitment note: Equipment manufacturers may use different components within the same model family based on engine, serial number or production date. Confirm the original part number and machine/engine details before ordering.
