Wacker Neuson 5100012657 Steering Unit + Connection Plate

The Wacker Neuson Steering Unit + Connection Plate is a genuine OEM assembly designed for the RD24-100 and RD28-120 tandem roller series, including standard, C, O, DPF, and e-series variants. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the exact design and material specifications of the original component. It covers an extensive range of RD-series tandem rollers, making it the correct choice for operators maintaining machines across multiple generations and configurations. Always verify your machine's model and serial number against the fitment list before ordering.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Steering Precision — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original articulation and feedback specifications, ensuring the steering unit delivers the same response characteristics as the part it replaces.
• Integrated Connection Plate Included — Supplied as a complete assembly with the connection plate pre-paired, so both mating components install together as a matched unit without sourcing separate hardware.
• Broad RD-Series Compatibility — Fits RD24-100 and RD28-120 tandem rollers across standard, C (cab), O (open), DPF, and e-series configurations spanning multiple production generations.
• Restore Full Directional Control — A worn or failed steering unit can cause sluggish articulation, uneven tracking, or loss of directional authority on the drum — replacing it restores crisp, consistent roller steering on compaction passes.
• Operator Safety Relevance — Steering system integrity directly affects machine control on slopes and confined compaction zones; using a genuine OEM unit maintains the response characteristics the machine was engineered around.

The steering unit on a tandem roller controls the articulated joint that allows the front and rear drum sections to pivot relative to each other, giving the operator directional control during compaction work. The connection plate serves as the structural interface that links the steering unit to the machine's frame, transmitting input forces accurately between components. When the steering unit wears or the connection plate becomes damaged, operators may experience imprecise tracking, excessive play in the steering, or complete loss of articulation — all of which compromise compaction quality and machine safety.
