The Bomag 68140267 Steering Rod is a genuine OEM component designed for the BPR 30/38-2 and BPR 30/38 D-2 reversible vibratory plates. Sourced directly from Bomag, this steering rod matches the exact dimensions and material specifications of the original part, ensuring a correct, trouble-free installation. It fits both the standard and diesel-engine variants of the BPR 30/38-2 platform, making it the straightforward choice when the original rod is worn, bent, or damaged.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Dimensional Accuracy — manufactured to Bomag's original tolerances, so the rod seats and articulates correctly in the steering linkage without adjustment
- Direct Replacement for Two Platform Variants — fits both the BPR 30/38-2 and BPR 30/38 D-2 reversible vibratory plates, covering the gasoline and diesel engine configurations of this machine family
- Structural Material Match — produced from the same material grade as the factory original, providing the rigidity needed to handle the repetitive steering forces generated during compaction passes
- Restored Operator Control — a correctly functioning steering rod transfers directional input cleanly from the operator handle to the plate, enabling precise maneuvering in tight or confined areas
The steering rod is a structural link in the reversible vibratory plate's handle and directional-control assembly. It transmits the operator's steering input through the linkage system, allowing the plate to be guided accurately across the compaction surface. When the steering rod is bent, cracked, or worn at its connection points, the operator loses precise control over the plate's travel direction — leading to uneven compaction patterns, increased operator effort, and potential damage to adjacent linkage components. Replacing a compromised rod promptly restores full directional response and keeps the machine operating as intended.
