Liebherr ball joints

Steering and axle maintenance with Liebherr ball joints

In this specialized catalog you will find a technical range of supplies, highlighting Liebherr ball joints, critical components for restoring precision in heavy machinery control systems. These elements ensure the articulated connection between the different parts of the suspension and the guidance system, and are essential for the safe maneuverability of cranes, excavators, and industrial loaders.

Our offering is aimed at industry professionals and workshops looking for reliable spare parts for corrective or preventive maintenance. By using components that meet the appropriate load and strength specifications, the vehicle’s operational stability is ensured, helping to prevent uneven wear and extending the service life of the mechanical assembly.

Criteria for selecting the right replacement part

• OEM reference: Always check the part number stamped on the old component or consult the machine’s parts manual.
• Thread and taper type: Check the diameter, thread pitch, and taper dimensions to ensure a firm mechanical assembly without play.
• Mounting position: Determine whether the part is installed on the tie rod, the steering cylinder, or the stabilizer bar.
• Installation side: Some references are “handed” (left-hand or right-hand thread) depending on their position on the axle.
• Machinery model: Confirm compatibility with the specific vehicle series (e.g., LTM, R, A) to ensure the correct steering geometry.

Frequently asked questions

How do I identify the exact reference for the ball joint I need?

The most advisable approach is to locate the code engraved on the part you are going to replace or consult the original parts catalog for your Liebherr machine. If you have doubts, having the exact model and the vehicle serial number makes it easier to correctly identify the compatible spare part.

What type of machinery are these components commonly used for?

These ball joints are typically used in heavy-duty public works and construction machinery, such as mobile cranes, tracked or wheeled excavators, front loaders, and dumpers, where steering systems withstand high mechanical loads.

When should a steering ball joint be replaced?

Replacement should be carried out when play is detected in the steering, metallic noises when maneuvering, unusual vibrations in the steering wheel, or irregular tire wear. These symptoms indicate that the joint has lost its integrity and compromises safety.

Is an alignment necessary after installation?

Yes, after replacing any element that affects steering or axle geometry, it is necessary to check and adjust toe or alignment. This ensures the machinery responds correctly and prevents premature deterioration of the new part and the wheels.
