The Wacker Neuson Universal Joint Shim is a genuine OEM component designed for CRT36 and CRT48 series ride-on concrete trowels. This shim is sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, ensuring it meets the exact dimensional and material standards required for proper universal joint operation across the CRT trowel lineup. Confirmed fitment covers a wide range of CRT36 and CRT48 models, including high-speed, low-speed, and electronic steering variants. When you need a precise, factory-correct replacement, part number is the straightforward choice.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Dimensional Accuracy — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact thickness and material tolerances, ensuring the universal joint maintains correct alignment and load distribution without guesswork.
- Drop-In Installation — Designed to seat directly within the universal joint assembly of CRT trowels, requiring no modification to surrounding components during service.
- Broad CRT Series Coverage — Fits multiple CRT36 and CRT48 configurations, including high-speed, low-speed, and electronically steered variants, making it a versatile stock item for trowel fleets.
- Protects Universal Joint Integrity — A correctly fitted shim keeps bearing surfaces properly spaced and loaded; a worn or missing shim accelerates joint wear and introduces drivetrain slop that affects trowel steering and finish quality.
- Verified Wacker Neuson Part Number — Part 5000117644 is cross-referenced directly to the CRT model range, giving you confidence that you are ordering the correct service part the first time.
A universal joint shim is a precision spacer fitted within the universal joint assembly of a ride-on concrete trowel's driveline or steering linkage. Its role is to set the correct axial clearance between joint components, ensuring smooth articulation and even load transfer as the trowel operates. When a shim wears down or is missing entirely, the joint develops excess play, which can cause vibration, uneven trowel head movement, and accelerated wear to the surrounding drivetrain components — ultimately affecting the quality of the finished concrete surface.
