A durable steering system component, this Right-Hand (RH) tie rod end 1313737 (socket assembly) by TORS is designed to operate under the toughest conditions, handling high torque and high impact loads in CAT motor graders. As a key joint, it allows for differentiation in the tie rod's position relative to the steering arm, aiding maneuverability. Precise threads (7/8-14 and 1-1/8-12) ensure a perfect fit and secure connection.
Steering system components from TORS are recognized as some of the most durable in their category. Product quality control, starting from raw material inspection, is carried out at all stages of production, right through to the final product. To maintain the highest quality, state-of-the-art inspection equipment and highly qualified staff are used during checks. Only the highest quality metal alloys are used in production, allowing the tie rods to be operated significantly longer than others available on the market.

This product is the right-hand tie rod end. For a complete and professional steering system repair, we recommend also checking the condition of the left-hand (LH) tie rod end (part number 1313738) and the tie rod itself.
A tie rod end is a safety-critical component. Its wear (excessive play) or failure leads to an immediate loss of control over the wheel, risking a serious accident. Never weld, recondition, or straighten worn or damaged tie rod ends.
The tie rod end (socket assembly) is a ball joint that connects the tie rod to the steering knuckle. It allows the wheel to turn while simultaneously moving up and down over uneven terrain. Wear on this component is normal and manifests as play in the joint.

"Socket Assembly" is the technical term used by CAT for a complete tie rod end, which is the ball joint including its housing and mounting taper.
No. This product (1313737) is specifically designed as a Right-Hand (RH) end. The left-hand (LH) side has a different part number (1313738) and usually features an opposite-direction thread to allow for rod adjustment.
The two most important dimensions are the threads: the thread that screws into the tie rod (in this case, 1-1/8-12) and the thread on the mounting taper that the nut goes on (here, 7/8-14). You should also confirm the overall length (168.9 mm).
