The Wacker Neuson 1000015342 ISO 4017 M8x20 8.8 A2K Bolt is a genuine OEM fastener designed for the WL50 Articulated Wheel Loader, including cab-equipped configurations and the MT-L II axle assembly. As a genuine Wacker Neuson OEM component, part 1000015342 is manufactured to the exact ISO 4017 standard specified for these machines, ensuring the correct thread pitch, grade 8.8 tensile strength, and A2K coating are present right out of the box. This bolt is a direct-fit replacement sourced from the original equipment manufacturer, so it installs exactly as the factory-installed hardware did. If you are servicing the axle assembly or cab structure on a WL50, this is the correct replacement fastener to restore proper clamping force and joint integrity.
Key Features
- ISO 4017 Grade 8.8 Tensile Strength — manufactured to the ISO 4017 hex bolt standard at grade 8.8, delivering the specific yield and tensile strength required for structural and drivetrain joint applications on the WL50.
- A2K Protective Coating — the A2K finish provides corrosion resistance suited to the outdoor and mixed-terrain operating conditions typical of compact wheel loader work.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Hardware — sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this bolt matches the exact thread specification, shank length, and head geometry called out in the WL50 parts documentation.
- Confirmed Fitment for WL50 and MT-L II Axle — verified for use in the WL50 Articulated Wheel Loader cab configuration and the MT-L II axle assembly, giving you confidence you are ordering the right fastener for the job.
- Critical Joint Integrity — using the correct grade and size fastener maintains the engineered clamping load at axle and structural connection points; substituting an incorrect bolt risks joint loosening, fretting, or premature failure under load cycling.
- Safety-Critical Hardware — fasteners used in axle and drivetrain assemblies are load-bearing components; replacing worn or damaged bolts with the correct OEM specification is essential to safe machine operation.
A hex bolt such as the 1000015342 serves as a primary threaded fastener at structural, axle, and mounting joints throughout the WL50 Articulated Wheel Loader. Its role is to clamp mating components together under a defined load, preventing movement, fretting, and misalignment during machine operation. When a bolt in a critical joint stretches, corrodes, or is installed at the wrong torque, the resulting loss of clamping force can allow components to shift, causing accelerated wear or mechanical failure in the surrounding assembly.
