Left steering tie rod end with part number 8U3382 from the renowned TORS brand offer. This is a massive tie rod end with a length of 400 mm, designed for heavy wheeled excavators of the Caterpillar (CAT) brand. This element is characterized by an exceptionally massive structure (50 mm shaft diameter) and is mounted on the left side of the steering system.
The TORS brand is a guarantee of the highest durability. The use of a 50 mm diameter shaft makes this joint resistant to extreme forces acting on the steering system when working with an excavator in heavy terrain.

The joint fits the LEFT side. Before purchasing, verify the mounting side and thread.
The left end works with the central rod and the right end. When replacing such a massive element, we recommend checking the condition of the steering cylinder and using new safety devices (nuts/cotter pins).
Wheeled excavators travel on public roads. Play on such a large joint can cause dangerous "wandering" of the machine, and its breakage threatens a complete loss of control over a vehicle weighing several tons.
Joint 8U3382 connects the steering system with the wheel knuckle.

In this model (8U3382), 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.
It is a metric fine thread M30x1.5. It is an unusual, large thread used in heavy machinery.
Wheeled excavators (like the CAT M318) do not turn with tracks like their tracked counterparts. They have a traditional steering system with a steering axle, which allows them to move quickly on paved roads without damaging the surface.
