The Shacman X5000 5010043-Steering Tie Rod (Continuously Adjustable) is a genuine OEM steering linkage kit that includes both left and right joint assemblies. This continuously adjustable tie rod allows precise toe‑alignment without removing the linkage. Manufactured by Shacman, this set delivers superior steering precision and durability for X5000 heavy trucks.
The complete system replaces worn tie rods and joint assemblies, restoring factory steering geometry. The Shacman X5000 5010043-Steering Tie Rod (Continuously Adjustable) is engineered to handle extreme loads while offering easy on‑vehicle adjustment.
The Left Joint Assembly (Part DZ9100430003) is a forged steel ball joint assembly for the left side of the steering linkage. It features a cold‑formed housing from 40Cr steel, heat treated to 38‑42 HRC. The ball stud has a 22mm diameter with a 1:10 taper, induction hardened to 55 HRC. The joint incorporates a sintered bronze bearing and a polyurethane dust boot. Pre‑lubricated with high‑pressure moly grease, it withstands 25 kN static load.

The Right Joint Assembly (Part DZ9100430004A) is the counterpart for the right side of the continuously adjustable tie rod. Made from identical 40Cr forged steel with the same heat treatment and coating. The key difference is the right‑hand thread adjusting sleeve (M24x1.5) that mates with the left assembly to allow overall length variation from 540mm to 620mm. The ball joint has the same 22mm taper stud, self‑lubricating bearing, and heavy‑duty rubber boot. Grease fitting is positioned at 90° for easy access. The right joint assembly is also 100% magnaflux inspected and serialised.

Complete OEM set – left and right joint assemblies for the continuously adjustable tie rod.
✔️ 100% OEM Fit & Continuous Adjustment – Left and right joint assemblies are direct replacements for original Shacman parts. The opposite threads allow on‑vehicle toe adjustment without unseating the ball joints. Save alignment time and reduce downtime.
🔧 Heavy‑Duty Construction & Long Life – Forged 40Cr steel bodies, induction‑hardened ball studs, and sintered bronze bearings. Tested to 1.5 million steering cycles without play increase. Ideal for heavy haul, logging and off‑road applications.
🛡️ Corrosion Protection & Easy Maintenance – Zinc‑nickel coating (480h salt spray). Greaseable fittings with high‑temperature moly grease. Rubber boots resistant to oil, ozone, and UV. Replace the boot if damaged – the joint can be re‑greased periodically.
🚛 Complete Set – Both Sides Included – One order contains both left and right joint assemblies with all hardware (castle nuts, split pins). Perfect for a complete tie rod overhaul. Backed by 12‑month unlimited‑mileage warranty. Bulk pricing for fleets and workshops.
Left joint assembly: thread M24x1.5 left‑hand, housing length 110mm, ball stud taper 1:10, angle ±22°. Right joint assembly: M24x1.5 right‑hand, same housing dimensions. Combined adjustment range: from 540mm to 620mm center‑to‑center. Maximum static load: 25 kN. Dynamic load capacity: 15 kN at 10 Hz. Preload torque after assembly: 10‑15 Nm. Radial play limit: 0.3mm. The Shacman X5000 5010043-Steering Tie Rod (Continuously Adjustable) is tested to ECE R79 steering linkage requirements.
Grease type: lithium complex with molybdenum disulfide (NLGI #2). Grease volume per joint: 8g. Boot material: chloroprene (CR) with polyester reinforcement. Boot temperature resistance: -40°C to +120°C. The joint passes 500h salt spray and 200h UV exposure.
Temp Range
-40°C to +120°C continuous. Short term peak +150°C.
Applications
Shacman X5000, X3000, F3000 front steering linkages. Replaces individual tie rod ends and centre tube.
Certifications
IATF 16949, ISO 9001, ECE R79. Material certificates available.
1. Remove old tie rod assembly. 2. Screw left joint onto one end of the tie rod tube, right joint onto the other end. 3. Install the assembly between drop arm and steering knuckle. 4. Tighten lock nuts, torque to 200 Nm. 5. Adjust toe‑in by rotating the centre tube: turning clockwise shortens length, anticlockwise lengthens. 6. Grease both joints after installation. Re‑check torque after 500 km. Always replace cotter pins.
Do not exceed the maximum adjustment range. If boot is damaged during installation, replace it immediately. Use only genuine Shacman grease for re‑lubrication.
Joint housing: closed‑die forged 40Cr, normalized, CNC machined. Ball stud: 40Cr, induction hardened, ground. Bearing: sintered bronze, oil‑impregnated. Boot: injection‑moulded chloroprene. All components are 100% dimensionally inspected. Random samples undergo 500,000 cycle fatigue test at 20 kN alternating load. No crack or separation allowed. Each joint is serialised and boxed with torque specification card.
Worn tie rod joints cause excessive toe movement, leading to rapid tire edge wear and steering vagueness. Replacing with the Shacman X5000 5010043-Steering Tie Rod (Continuously Adjustable) restores precise toe retention. The continuously adjustable design allows quick alignment during routine service, reducing wheel alignment costs by 50%. Lower total cost per kilometer compared to non‑adjustable aftermarket rods.

Clunking from front suspension, erratic steering, feathering on inner/outer tire treads, visible boot tears, grease leakage, free‑play detectable by shaking wheel at 3 & 9 o’clock. Replace both left and right joint assemblies as a matched set with Shacman X5000 5010043-Steering Tie Rod (Continuously Adjustable). Never replace only one side.
Inspect every 100,000 km. Re‑grease every 20,000 km. Replace boots if cracked.
Generic tie rod ends often use cast iron housings and unhardened ball studs, wearing out in 80,000 km. Adjustment is not continuous, requiring removal of the joint to change length. Our genuine Shacman X5000 5010043-Steering Tie Rod (Continuously Adjustable) uses forged steel, induction‑hardened studs, and opposite threads for on‑vehicle fine adjustment. The boots are chloroprene, not cheap neoprene. Choose original for safety and longevity.
Final recommendation: Always replace the complete left and right joint assembly set. The Shacman X5000 5010043-Steering Tie Rod (Continuously Adjustable) provides a continuously adjustable, heavy‑duty steering linkage. Trust genuine Shacman for precision alignment and durability.
