Wacker Neuson 5100013610 Rod End Ball Joint

The Wacker Neuson Rod End Ball Joint is a genuine OEM component designed for the RD24-100, RD27-120, and RD28-120 series tandem rollers. As a factory-sourced part, it is manufactured to the same specifications as the original installed on your machine, ensuring a direct, exact-match replacement across a wide range of RD-series configurations including standard, canopy, open ROPS, DPF, and electric variants. Confirmed fitment spans numerous serial number ranges across the full RD tandem roller lineup, so you can order with confidence knowing this is the correct part for your machine.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Pivot Geometry — Manufactured to original Wacker Neuson tolerances, maintaining the correct articulation angle and load rating required for smooth steering linkage operation on tandem rollers.
• Direct Bolt-In Replacement — Matches the original thread pitch, shank diameter, and bearing housing of the factory-installed joint, connecting directly into the existing steering or linkage assembly without rework.
• Broad RD-Series Compatibility — Fits a wide range of RD24-100 and RD27/28-120 tandem rollers across standard, canopy, open ROPS, DPF, and electric configurations, covering multiple serial number generations.
• Smooth Articulation Under Load — A correctly functioning rod end ball joint allows the roller's articulated frame to pivot freely and accurately, maintaining straight tracking and precise steering response across compaction passes.
• Verified Wacker Neuson Part Number — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson's OEM supply chain; part number 5100013610 matches factory parts documentation for all listed RD-series models.

A rod end ball joint is a pivoting connector used in steering linkage and articulated frame systems, allowing two connected components to rotate and articulate relative to each other under load. On a tandem roller, this joint is critical to the machine's ability to steer and track accurately — transmitting operator input through the linkage while accommodating the constant movement and vibration of compaction work. When a rod end ball joint wears out or fails, it introduces play into the steering linkage, causing imprecise steering response, uneven drum tracking, and accelerated wear on surrounding components; catching and replacing a worn joint early keeps the roller handling predictably and protects the rest of the steering system.
