Repl Stud Quick Bump Shouldered

The HOWE Repl Stud Quick Bump Shouldered tie rod stud (Part No. 23296) is a precision-engineered replacement component designed for marine steering systems that depend on quick-adjustable tie rod assemblies. This stud is built to restore full steering response and alignment accuracy in boats where wear or damage has compromised the original steering linkage. The quick-bump design allows for rapid field adjustment without requiring specialized alignment equipment, making it essential for both weekend boaters and serious offshore anglers who need reliable steering in demanding conditions.

Constructed from steel and weighing 0.47 lbs, this stud delivers the mechanical rigidity necessary to transfer steering input cleanly from the helm to the boat's control surfaces. The long-shoulder design provides additional bearing surface and load distribution, reducing stress concentration at the connection point—a critical feature in salt-water environments where repetitive motion and corrosion can accelerate component failure. The dimensions of 1.6 x 1.2 x 6.4 inches are engineered to fit HOWE Quick Bump tie rod assemblies without modification, ensuring proper geometry and steering performance.

This replacement stud is intended for operators who perform their own marine maintenance or who need to keep backup components on hand for extended offshore trips. Because steering system integrity directly affects boat control and safety, using original or high-quality replacement parts like this stud is crucial for maintaining optimal performance on the water.
