Description
When you feel excessive play in the steering or notice the front end wandering more than it should, worn pivot bushings in the front axle are often the culprit. This wear sleeve works with the thrust washers to handle the constant articulation and heavy loads that front axles see during field work, loader operations, and road travel. A fresh sleeve restores that tight, responsive steering feel that keeps you safe and productive.
What You’re Getting
- Precision dimensions of 104.8mm inner diameter and 114.9mm outer diameter for exact fit
- Hardened steel construction that handles the punishment of daily farm work
- 44mm height provides the proper bearing surface for smooth pivot operation
- Heat-treated surface resists wear from constant steering motion and heavy implement loads
- Works together with thrust washer QTP-43258 for complete front axle restoration
Built for Real Farm Work
This sleeve fits Ford New Holland 40 Series tractors and Case IH CX/CVX Series machines that are workhorses in mixed farming operations, grain production, hay harvesting, and livestock management. These tractors handle everything from deep tillage to loader work, and their front axles take tremendous stress from the constant steering and weight transfer.
Made to Last
Farm equipment front axles endure millions of steering cycles, side loads from uneven ground, and the shock of hitting rocks or holes. This sleeve’s hardened construction and precision manufacturing ensure it maintains proper clearances and smooth operation even after years of hard use in demanding conditions.
Installation Notes
Installation requires partial disassembly of the front axle housing and proper hydraulic press equipment to remove worn components and install new parts. This is definitely a winter shop project when you have time to do it right. Always inspect related components during disassembly and check lubrication levels before reassembly.
