The rod fits the LEFT side. Before purchasing, please verify the total length (565.5 mm) and cone dimensions.
When replacing the left rod, it is worth checking the condition of the right rod and the main steering cylinder. New castle nuts and cotter pins may be required to secure the pins.
Wheeled excavators travel at high speeds (up to 30-35 km/h). A steering rod break while driving can lead to a catastrophic accident. Check steering system play regularly.
Rod 2652622 is responsible for maintaining the track and turning the wheels.

The 50 mm diameter results from the huge forces acting on the steering system in excavators weighing nearly 20 tons. Smaller rods would bend when trying to turn the wheels in soft terrain.
In this model (2652622), the cone is very large. Measure it with a caliper: at the base it should be approx. 38.30 mm, and at the top (by the thread) approx. 34.30 mm.
The letter "M" in the name of models like M318 stands for "Mobile", which in Caterpillar nomenclature distinguishes wheeled excavators from tracked ones (which have only a numerical designation, e.g., 320).
