Steering Rocker Arm
Рулевой Рычаг
Brazo de Dirección
This OEM steering rocker arm (part SZ943000738) is precision-engineered for the Shacman X5000. It is a critical pivot point in the steering linkage, transferring motion from the steering gear to the drag link.
Manufactured from high-strength forged steel with precision-machined tapered splines and bearing surfaces, this rocker arm withstands constant torsional and bending loads during heavy-duty commercial vehicle operation.
Replacing worn or damaged rocker arms with this genuine component restores proper steering geometry and eliminates play. The OEM number guarantees exact fitment and safety.

The steering rocker arm (also known as the pitman arm) is the primary link between the steering gear and the rest of the steering linkage. It converts the rotational output of the steering gear into linear motion.
Attached to the steering gear’s output shaft via a tapered spline, the rocker arm swings in an arc as the driver turns the wheel. This swing then pushes or pulls the drag link to steer the vehicle.
The precise geometry of this forged arm is critical for maintaining the correct steering ratio and ensuring that the driver’s input is accurately transmitted to the wheels.
This rocker arm is drop-forged from high-strength steel, providing exceptional strength and resistance to the high torsional loads placed upon it. The tapered spline ensures a tight, rattle-free fit.
The anti-corrosion coating protects the arm from the elements, ensuring long-term reliability. The ball joint end is designed for heavy-duty use.
The rocker arm is installed onto the steering gear’s output shaft using a high-torque retaining nut. Correct torque is critical, as a loose arm will cause a loss of steering control.
The drag link is then attached to the arm’s ball joint. After installation, a full wheel alignment is mandatory, and the steering system must be checked for correct operation.
Each rocker arm is inspected for dimensional accuracy, spline fit, and material integrity. Non-destructive testing is used to ensure the forging is free from internal flaws.
The ball joint is tested for proper torque and range of motion before the arm is approved for use.
Any play or wear in the rocker arm’s ball joint is a primary reason for replacement. A worn ball joint causes vague steering, wandering, and uneven tire wear.
Visible cracks or deformation of the forged arm itself are critical safety issues requiring immediate replacement. A damaged spline on the arm also warrants replacement.
If the vehicle has been in a front-end collision, the rocker arm should be closely inspected for any hidden damage or bending.
Aftermarket rocker arms with incorrect spline geometry or inferior steel can lead to sudden steering failure. We supply only authentic components built to exact OEM specifications.
Each arm is individually packaged. The part number SZ943000738 is clearly marked for immediate identification.
Our international logistics network ensures prompt dispatch to dealerships and fleet maintenance facilities worldwide.
