A crucial element for safety and steering precision – a complete steering rod, designed for JCB telehandlers. This component is responsible for transferring movement from the steering ram to the steering knuckle, which directly translates into turning the machine's wheels. The reliability of this component is absolutely critical for maintaining control of the vehicle, especially at higher transport speeds.
Steering system components from TORS are considered the most durable in their category. Product quality control, starting from the inspection of raw materials, is carried out at all stages of production, right up to the finished product. To maintain the highest quality, state-of-the-art inspection equipment and highly qualified staff are used. Only the highest quality metal alloys are used in production, allowing the steering rods to be operated for much longer than others available on the market.

The list above is for reference. Before purchasing, we recommend a visual check and verification of the part number in the parts catalogue for your machine.
A damaged steering rod can lead to a sudden and complete loss of control over the machine, which poses a fatal danger. Symptoms of its wear should never be ignored. Before starting work, immobilize the machine and secure it against rolling.
A steering rod is a mechanical link whose wear is mainly manifested by play in the ball joints. Ignoring these symptoms leads to a loss of steering precision, tire destruction, and, in extreme cases, to the joint dislocating and a total loss of steering.
Play in the steering system is a direct path to disaster.
Loss of steering in a heavy machine, especially during transport, can have tragic consequences. The cost of replacing a steering rod is negligible compared to the potential losses. Don't compromise on safety – invest in the most durable TORS steering rod on the market and ensure you have steering precision and peace of mind for years to come.

Lift the machine's axle so the wheels are off the ground. Have a second person make small, sharp left-and-right movements with the steering wheel. While they do this, firmly grasp the steering rod – any noticeable "clunk" or play at the ball joint means the component needs to be replaced.
2. Why is wheel alignment so important after replacement?Alignment (toe-in) is the setting of the wheels at a correct angle to each other. Even a small deviation from the norm causes the tires not to roll straight but to be slightly "dragged" sideways. This leads to drastically accelerated and uneven tread wear, and also worsens the machine's stability while driving.
3. What's the difference between a steering rod and a track rod?In a typical system, the track rod (or tie rod) connects the left and right steering knuckles, ensuring they turn in sync. The steering rod (or drag link), on the other hand, transfers movement from the steering box (or hydraulic ram) to one of the knuckles. In JCB machines, this can vary depending on the axle design, but both components are crucial for steerability.
