This is a metric bolt designed for high-strength fastening applications within Caterpillar equipment. It is manufactured from hardened steel to meet precise dimensional and material specifications, offering superior tensile strength and durability over standard bolts. Failure typically manifests as a loose component, unusual vibration, or a visible gap where the bolt should be securing parts together.

Cross-reference part number with serial number before ordering to confirm fitment. Keep original parts until new ones are confirmed correct. Record part numbers replaced for future reference.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
The initial symptom of a failed bolt is often a loosening of the secured component, which may present as increased noise or vibration. If ignored, the component can become significantly misaligned or detach, potentially causing damage to surrounding systems. The ultimate risk is the uncontrolled movement or separation of critical machinery parts during operation.
Always clean the bolt threads and the tapped hole to ensure proper engagement and torque. Avoid over-tightening, as this can strip the threads or break the bolt, compromising the connection.
Inspect the mating surfaces for damage or wear and check the integrity of any associated nuts or washers when replacing a bolt.
