The Mecalac Articulation Tie Bar (OEM 1583-1225) is a genuine replacement steering and chassis component designed for use on selected Mecalac construction equipment. The articulation tie bar forms part of the articulated steering assembly, helping to control and stabilise the movement between the front and rear chassis sections while maintaining correct steering geometry and machine alignment during operation.
Manufactured to OEM specifications from high-strength steel, the articulation tie bar is engineered to withstand heavy steering loads, shock forces, vibration, and the demanding conditions encountered on construction and civil engineering sites. Precision-manufactured for an accurate fit, it is designed as a direct replacement component to restore the strength, stability, and reliability of the articulation system.
FUNCTION AND OPERATION
- Maintains correct alignment of the articulated chassis
- Supports smooth and controlled steering movement
- Helps maintain accurate steering geometry
- Withstands heavy steering loads and shock forces

Always verify compatibility using the machine model and serial number before ordering, as articulation tie bars can vary in length, mounting arrangement, thread specification, and application between machine models and production revisions.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Always confirm the correct OEM part number, machine model, serial number, and articulation system specification before ordering, as articulation tie bars are manufactured to precise dimensions and strength requirements. Installing the correct component is essential to maintain accurate steering, safe machine operation, and long service life.
Common signs that an articulation tie bar requires replacement include bending, excessive wear, damaged threads, corrosion, loose mounting points, or excessive play within the articulation system. When replacing the articulation tie bar, it is recommended to inspect the articulation pins, bushes, pivot points, locking hardware, and surrounding steering components for signs of wear or damage. Replacing any worn associated components at the same time will help maximise the reliability and service life of the complete articulation assembly.
