The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Radial Rod End Bearing designed for the RC50, RC50p, RC70, RC70p, and RC70vo single drum soil compactor series. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this bearing carries the same part number and specification as the original component installed at the factory, ensuring a direct, accurate replacement. It covers a wide range of RC-series configurations including CAB and ROPS variants across multiple production runs, making it the correct choice for both standard and DPF-equipped machines.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Precision Tolerancing — Manufactured to exact radial load and angular misalignment tolerances required for soil compactor articulation and steering linkage duty cycles.
- Drop-In Installation — Matches the original mounting interface and thread specification, so the bearing seats correctly in the rod end housing without additional machining or adaptation.
- Broad RC-Series Coverage — Fits RC50, RC50p, RC70, RC70p, and RC70vo compactors across standard, US-market, CAB, ROPS, and DPF configurations.
- Sustained Compaction Performance — A correctly functioning rod end bearing maintains smooth articulation and steering response under load; a worn or seized bearing introduces play that degrades compaction pass accuracy and puts stress on adjacent linkage components.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Authenticated OEM component verified under part number 5100023017, eliminating guesswork on fitment and material specification.
A radial rod end bearing is a self-contained pivot joint used in the articulation and steering linkage of single drum soil compactors. It allows controlled angular movement between connected components while transferring radial loads, keeping steering inputs precise and responsive during compaction passes. When a rod end bearing wears or fails, operators typically notice looseness or slop in the steering, uneven articulation, or unusual noise from the linkage — all of which compromise machine control and can accelerate wear on surrounding hardware.
