Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the TO 43360-22750-71 tie rod end?
A: The TO 43360-22750-71 is an OEM Toyota spherical plain bearing ball joint for steer axle steering applications on electric lift trucks. It features a left-hand thread and connects the drag link to the steering cylinder or steer axle arm.
Q: Which Toyota lift truck models use the TO 43360-22750-71 left-hand tie rod end?
A: The TO 43360-22750-71 fits Toyota 5FDC20, 5FDC25, 5FDC30, 5FDCU20, 5FDCU25, 5FDCU30, 5FGC10, 5FGC13, 5FGC15, 5FGC18, 5FGC20, 5FGC23, 5FGC25, 5FGC28, 5FGC30, 5FGCU10, 5FGCU13, 5FGCU15, and 5FGCU18. Verify your equipment model against this list before ordering.
Q: Why does the TO 43360-22750-71 have a left-hand thread?
A: The left-hand thread prevents the tie rod end from loosening during normal steering operation. This design is standard on the left side of the steering linkage to ensure the thread direction opposes the natural rotation and vibration of vehicle steering.
Q: What material is the TO 43360-22750-71 made from?
A: The TO 43360-22750-71 is constructed from heat-treated steel for strength and durability under load. The spherical plain bearing design accommodates slight angle misalignment in the steering linkage, reducing wear and binding.
Q: Is there a cross-reference part number for the TO 43360-22750-71?
A: The equivalent part number is TY43360-22750-71. Both reference the same OEM Toyota left-hand tie rod end assembly. Use the exact SKU format that matches your ordering system.
Q: How do I know if my TO 43360-22750-71 tie rod end needs replacement?
A: Signs of wear include excessive steering play, wandering steering response, unusual steering noise or grinding, or visible play when the steering linkage is manually moved. A worn spherical bearing loses its preload, affecting steering precision and control.
