ZF 4699.298.006 STEERING GEAR SET for WG100/WG130/WG131 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4699.298.006 STEERING GEAR SET is a precision-engineered assembly designed for the steering control system within ZF WG100, WG130, and WG131 transmissions. This OEM genuine part integrates directly into the gear train to manage directional torque and ensure responsive steering input under heavy loads. The SKU 4699.298.006 is a direct replacement for worn or damaged steering gear sets, restoring factory-specified clearance and engagement. It sits in the lower valve body region, interfacing with the 4699101107: HOUSING to maintain alignment and pressure integrity during operation.

Symptoms of Failure

• Hard steering or increased effort: When the steering gear set wears, operators notice a significant increase in steering wheel resistance, especially during low-speed maneuvers or when turning under load.
• Intermittent gear slipping or clunking: Worn teeth or degraded splines cause the steering gear to skip engagement, producing audible clunks or a momentary loss of steering response.
• Oil leaks around the steering housing: A failing gear set can damage adjacent seals, leading to hydraulic fluid seepage near the 4699103113: OUTPUT shaft or housing interface.
• Excessive backlash or free play: Degraded gear mesh results in noticeable steering wheel slack before the wheels respond, compromising control precision.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This steering gear set is engineered for ZF WG-series transmissions, specifically the WG100, WG130, and WG131 models. It is also compatible with select variants of the WG180 and WG200 series when used with the appropriate 4699102151: INPUT shaft assembly. Always verify your transmission model and serial number before installation. For optimal performance, pair this gear set with a new 4699008042: GK16 gasket kit to prevent fluid bypass.
