Description

Those little shims might not look like much, but they’re what keep your power steering ram operating smooth and precise. When the fit between your steering ram pin and bushing gets sloppy from wear, these shims take up that play and get your steering tight again. Without the right shim thickness, you’ll feel every bit of slop in the steering wheel – especially when you’re trying to hold a straight line or make precise turns.

What You’re Getting

Precision-cut thickness to restore proper pin-to-bushing clearance in your steering ram
Quality steel construction that handles the constant pressure and movement of steering operation
Exact fit replacement that eliminates steering play and wandering
Simple solution that often fixes steering problems without replacing expensive components

Built for Real Farm Work

Massey Ferguson 100, 200, 500, and 600 series tractors are renowned for their versatility across diverse farming operations. The MF 165 and 188 models excel in row-crop work, while mid-range models like the 265, 275, and 285 power through heavy fieldwork including plowing, disking, and hay operations. These shims work in power steering systems that see daily use on everything from loader work around the barn to precise cultivation passes in the field.

Made to Last

Farm work puts constant stress on steering components, and these shims are built to handle it. The proper material thickness and heat treatment mean they’ll maintain their shape and spacing under hydraulic pressure and repeated steering cycles. You’re getting the precise tolerance you need to keep your steering system operating like it should.

Installation Notes

Installing these shims is usually part of a steering ram rebuild or when replacing worn pins and bushings. Sometimes those pins are stubborn after years of service – a bit of heat and a proper pin punch usually does the trick. Make sure to check the condition of your ram seals while you’ve got everything apart, as worn seals often go hand-in-hand with excessive pin wear.
