Tie Rod End Ball Joint Kit 723-0463 Left & 723-0462 Right Hand Thread, Front Axle Steering Replacement for Cub Cadet MTD Troy-Bilt 3000 5000 Series Riding Lawn Mower

Over time, stock tie rod ends wear down from regular use and outdoor exposure, causing steering play, uneven turning, and safety risks during mowing. Our replacement kit delivers factory-level performance at a budget-friendly price, solving steering issues without expensive dealer repairs. This kit is engineered for Cub Cadet, MTD and Troy-Bilt riding mowers, matching the original front axle steering design: 3000 Series: 3165, 3184, 3185, 3186, 3204, 3205, 3206, 3208, 3225, 3235, 3240 5000 Series: 5234DE, 5234DL, 5252, 5252E, 5254E, 5254L, 5264DE, 5264DL Additional Models: 6284, 7252, 7284, GT-3100, GT-3200, GT-3204, GT-3235 Each ball joint is precision machined from high-grade carbon steel with tight tolerances for smooth, wobble-free articulation. The galvanized surface stands up to rain, moisture, grass sap and yard dirt, resisting rust for long-term outdoor use. Inside the ball joint, a wear-resistant POM liner reduces friction and ensures consistent steering feel. The integrated NBR rubber dust boot creates a tight seal, keeping debris out of the housing to prevent premature wear and internal corrosion. The kit comes fully assembled with matching lock nuts, ready to install straight out of the package. Simply remove your worn factory tie rod ends and bolt these replacements in place. No special tools or modifications are needed, making it ideal for DIY lawn mower maintenance. This tie rod end kit comes with a 1-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. It is also covered by Amazon’s 30-day voluntary return guarantee. If you have any fitment or installation questions, our support team is ready to help.
