The Wacker Neuson Rod End Bearing Kit is a genuine OEM replacement designed for the RD27-100 and RD27-120 Hydrostatic Vibratory Rollers. Sourced directly through Wacker Neuson's authorized parts network, this kit ensures correct specification tolerancing for the rod end bearing positions on these tandem roller models. It is a direct match for all listed RD27-100 and RD27-120 machine configurations, giving you confidence that the part will seat and function as intended right out of the box.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Bearing Precision — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact tolerancing specs, ensuring proper load distribution and smooth articulation at the rod end joint.
- Drop-In Kit Format — Packaged as a complete kit with all necessary bearing components, simplifying installation and eliminating the guesswork of sourcing individual pieces separately.
- Confirmed RD27 Series Fitment — Verified for RD27-100 and RD27-120 Hydrostatic Vibratory Roller configurations, covering both primary machine variants in this tandem roller family.
- Maintains Steering and Linkage Integrity — A worn or failed rod end bearing causes play in the linkage, leading to imprecise articulation and uneven compaction passes — this kit restores tight, controlled movement.
- Genuine OEM Assurance — As an authentic Wacker Neuson part, 5000171734 meets the same standards as the original component installed at the factory, with no risk of dimensional mismatch.
A rod end bearing is a pivot-style bearing fitted at the end of a connecting rod or linkage arm, allowing controlled rotational or angular movement between two joined components. On the RD27 series tandem rollers, rod end bearings support the articulation and steering linkage, transmitting force while absorbing lateral loads. When these bearings wear, operators will notice looseness or slop in the steering response, uneven drum tracking, or vibration through the frame — all of which compromise compaction quality and can accelerate wear on surrounding components.
