ZF 4108.306.165 ANGLE BRACKET | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4108.306.165 ANGLE BRACKET is a precision-engineered structural component designed to secure and stabilize auxiliary assemblies within ZF construction machinery transmissions. This OEM genuine part serves as a critical mounting interface, ensuring that attached components remain rigidly aligned under high-torque loads and severe vibration. The bracket’s geometry is specifically cast to match the transmission housing contours, preventing stress concentrations that could lead to premature fatigue. The SKU 4108.306.165 is a direct replacement for factory-installed brackets, guaranteeing exact fitment without modification. When installed alongside the 4108101128: TRANSMISSION HOUSING and the 4108201296: HOUSING, this angle bracket forms a rigid support structure that maintains proper gear mesh alignment and protects internal components from lateral forces.

Symptoms of Failure

• Transmission mounting bracket cracking or fracture: Visible hairline cracks near bolt holes or weld joints, often accompanied by metallic pinging sounds during gear engagement.
• Progressive oil seepage at bracket interface: When the angle bracket loosens or distorts, it compromises the seal between the 4475280018: SCREW PLUG and housing, leading to slow ATF leaks that worsen under load.
• Abnormal driveline vibration during acceleration: A worn bracket allows the transmission to shift out of its designed position, causing rhythmic shaking that intensifies at highway speeds.
• Misalignment of the 0501215601: OIL LEVEL GAGE: A deformed bracket can shift the dipstick tube, resulting in inaccurate fluid level readings and potential transmission overheating.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This angle bracket is engineered for ZF power shift transmissions commonly used in construction machinery, including wheel loaders, dozers, and graders. It is a direct fit for the WG180, WG200, and WG210 series. Additionally, it is compatible with the 4WG200 and 5WG210 variants. For proper installation, always pair this bracket with the 4108303034: COVER and 0636015120: HEXAGON SCREW to ensure correct clamping force. The bracket also interfaces with the 0636302015: SCREW PLUG and 0501325471: SEALING RING for leak-proof sealing at the mounting points.
