Reinforced 1326521 steering tie rod by the renowned TORS brand. This is a complete assembly (including ends), designed specifically for the left side of the steering axle in Caterpillar (CAT) C-series wheeled excavators. It is distinguished by a massive construction – a 50 mm diameter tube – essential for handling forces in 15-18 ton machines. The total length of the component is 541.50 mm.
The TORS brand guarantees safety in heavy construction machinery. The use of a thickened profile (50mm) and high-grade steel ensures resistance to extreme loads occurring when operating a wheeled excavator in rough terrain.

The rod is dedicated to the left side of the axle. Other rod versions exist for D and F series models, so we recommend dimensional verification.
To mount the rod, castle nuts with cotter pins or self-locking nuts are required. When replacing the rod, it is worth checking for play on the knuckles and the condition of the steering cylinder.
Wheeled excavators travel at speeds up to 30-40 km/h. Steering rod failure while driving can lead to a tragic accident. System play causes dangerous machine "wandering" on the road.
Rod 1326521 transfers movement from the hydraulic cylinder to the wheel knuckle, enabling steering of the 18-ton machine.

M300 series wheeled excavators weigh several tons. The rod must withstand enormous forces when turning in boggy terrain, hence such a massive construction.
The M28x1.5 thread requires large open-end wrenches (typically in the 36-41 mm range). It's worth preparing suitable tools before replacement.
Usually, in these models, the left and right rods differ in length. We recommend using the part number dedicated to the specific side.
