ZF 2098.211.008 AXLE FLARED TUBE | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 2098.211.008 AXLE FLARED TUBE is a precision-engineered hydraulic conduit designed to route pressurized oil within the axle assembly of heavy-duty construction machinery. This OEM genuine part sits between the differential housing and the axle shaft, ensuring a leak-free connection that maintains consistent lubrication to critical gear sets. The flared end design creates a metal-to-metal seal that withstands high torque loads and thermal cycling common in excavators and wheel loaders. As a direct replacement for SKU 2098.211.008, this tube prevents contamination ingress and maintains proper fluid flow to components such as the 2095109015 DIFFERENTIAL and the 2095209037 DIFFERENTIAL.

Symptoms of Failure

• Hydraulic fluid seepage at axle tube connection: A worn or cracked flared tube allows oil to weep from the joint, leaving visible residue on the axle housing.
• Erratic gear engagement under load: Insufficient oil delivery to the 0750117075 TAPER ROLLER BEARING causes intermittent slipping or grinding noises during operation.
• Contaminated differential oil: A compromised tube permits dirt and moisture to enter the system, accelerating wear on the 2095309059 DIFF.HOUSING and internal gears.
• Overheating axle assembly: Restricted oil flow from a collapsed tube leads to elevated operating temperatures and premature bearing failure.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This axle flared tube is engineered for ZF WG series transmissions commonly deployed in construction machinery. It is a direct fit for the following models: WG180, WG200, WG210, and WG250. Additionally, it integrates with the ZF APL-300 and APL-350 axle series. Always verify the tube length and flare angle against your existing assembly before installation.
