ZF 4699.172.052 STEERING PARTS | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4699.172.052 STEERING PARTS component is a precision-engineered OEM genuine part designed for the steering control assembly within ZF construction machinery transmissions. This critical element governs hydraulic flow to the steering circuit, ensuring responsive and reliable directional control under heavy loads. As an integral part of the transmission’s valve body, the SKU 4699.172.052 interfaces directly with the 4699101105: HOUSING to maintain proper fluid pressure and distribution. Its robust construction withstands the high cyclic demands of wheel loaders, graders, and other off-highway equipment, making it a cornerstone of safe machine operation.

Symptoms of Failure

• Steering drift or unresponsiveness: When the 4699.172.052 wears internally, the steering wheel may feel loose or the machine drifts without input, especially during low-speed maneuvering.
• Hydraulic oil leaks around the valve body: Degraded seals or internal cracking can cause visible fluid seepage near the 0501329881: HOUSING COVER, leading to pressure loss.
• Erratic steering under load: A failing part may cause sudden jerks or hesitation when turning while the vehicle is under heavy bucket or blade load.
• Increased operating noise: Whining or groaning sounds from the steering system often indicate cavitation or restricted flow through this component.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This genuine ZF steering part is primarily used in the WG180, WG200, and WG211 series transmissions found in construction machinery. It also fits select variants of the WG150 and WG240 models where the steering valve block shares the same mounting pattern. Always verify your transmission serial number against the OEM parts catalog before ordering.
