The Wacker Neuson Shim.010 Thick Articulated Jt is a genuine OEM component designed for the RD880V double drum vibratory roller. Sourced directly through Wacker Neuson's OEM supply chain, this shim delivers the exact thickness and material specification required to maintain correct clearance at the articulated joint. As a genuine OEM part, it matches the original tolerances established during the machine's engineering — no guesswork, no rework. Confirm your serial number against the RD880V fitment before ordering to ensure a direct, accurate match.
Key Features
- Exact Thickness Tolerance — Genuine OEM manufacture ensures the .010 in. shim thickness is held to the precise specification required for correct articulated joint clearance and alignment.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Drops into the articulated joint assembly of the RD880V exactly as the original, with no need for custom fitting or material modification.
- RD880V Tandem Roller Fitment — Verified for the RD880V double drum vibratory roller; always cross-reference your machine number to confirm correct application.
- Preserves Steering and Articulation Performance — Correct shimming at the articulated joint keeps the steering pivot aligned and operating smoothly; worn or incorrect shims allow excessive play that accelerates joint wear and compromises machine control.
- Genuine OEM Part — Supplied under Wacker Neuson part number 5000083222, giving you full traceability and confidence that the part matches original build specifications.
A shim at the articulated joint of a tandem roller serves as a precision spacer that controls the amount of clearance — or preload — between mating components in the steering pivot assembly. On a machine like the RD880V, where the front and rear frames hinge through the articulated joint to steer, maintaining the correct gap is critical to smooth, predictable articulation and even wear across the joint's bearing surfaces. When shims wear down or are lost during service, excessive play develops in the joint, causing imprecise steering, accelerated bushing wear, and potential damage to surrounding hardware that is far more costly to address.
