Description
When your 4WD front axle starts making noise or the steering feels loose, worn bushings are often the culprit. This bushing fits ZF APL 345 front axles and is a critical component that keeps your front wheels aligned and your steering responsive. Without proper bushings, those expensive CV joints and axle housings take a beating from metal-on-metal contact, turning a simple maintenance job into a costly repair.
What You’re Getting
- Precise dimensions of 50.15mm outer diameter, 46mm inner diameter, and 25.2mm height for exact ZF APL 345 fitment
- Durable construction designed to handle the pivoting forces and loads of 4WD operation
- Direct replacement that restores proper clearances and eliminates play in the front axle
- Quality materials that resist wear from dirt, moisture, and the constant movement of farm work
Built for Real Farm Work
ZF APL 345 front axles are found on Ford 10 Series and TW Series tractors for heavy tillage and large-scale operations, Case IH 43-95 Series tractors used in row-crop farming and livestock operations, and John Deere 40-55 Series models that handle diverse agricultural tasks. Whether you’re running a loader, pulling heavy implements, or working steep ground where 4WD traction is essential, this bushing handles the stress.
Made to Last
Farm equipment bushings take punishment from constant pivoting, dirt infiltration, and the shock loads that come with rough field conditions. This bushing is built with materials selected specifically for front axle applications, where it needs to provide smooth movement while standing up to contamination and the forces generated by steering and suspension movement.
Good to Know
Installing this bushing typically requires removing the axle components to access the housing. Clean the bore thoroughly before installation and check for any wear or damage that might affect the new bushing’s performance. It’s smart to replace bushings in sets when doing front axle work – if one’s worn, the others probably aren’t far behind.
