JCB Steering Knuckle Mounting Washer – GMOVE
High-quality steering knuckle mounting washer by GMOVE, dedicated to heavy-duty JCB telescopic handlers. It is a key spacer and securing element in the steering knuckle system of the front drive axle. The washer is responsible for the proper distribution of pressure from the mounting bolts and the stabilization of the steering kingpin, which directly translates into steering precision and the operational safety of the machine under heavy loads.
Significant product features:
- Reinforced Mechanical Resistance: Made of hardened steel, which prevents deformation (indentation) under the influence of powerful forces acting on the front axle during operation with full attachments.
- Connection Protection: Provides an even contact surface, protecting the mounting seats in the axle casting from cracks and wear of the mounting holes.
- Manufacturing Precision: Dimensional tolerances in accordance with OEM standards guarantee a perfect fit, eliminating play that could lead to faster tire wear and damage to steering rod components.

Technical Advice: Always check the condition of the washers during steering knuckle service. If they are worn, indented, or show signs of pitting corrosion, they must be replaced with new ones. A worn washer prevents the mounting bolts from being tightened with the correct torque, which quickly leads to the loosening of the entire knuckle and risks costly damage to the axle housing. We recommend cleaning the contact surfaces and using a torque wrench during installation.
