Designed for a 2 inch diameter pivot, this front axle articulation component delivers robust steering axis performance under high-load conditions. Its geometry supports precise steering geometry and reliable alignment between the steering knuckle and axle, ensuring predictable handling in heavy-duty applications. The hardened bearing surfaces and refined machining reduce friction, promote smooth operation through repeated cycles, and extend component life in demanding fleets. Lubrication pathways are engineered to simplify grease service and minimize wear, helping to lower maintenance costs over the vehicle’s lifecycle. The VMRS code anchors its role within the steering and suspension subsystem, enabling straightforward parts management and compatibility across common OEM platforms. Practical use cases include long-haul truck tractors, construction and logging operations, and regional distribution where consistent steering response and durability are essential. After installation, verify seating and alignment, and follow manufacturer-recommended torque and lubricant refresh intervals to maintain peak performance.
