Stud Only for 23240/ 23250 +.500in

The HOWE Stud Only for 23240/23250 +.500in (Part No. 23295) is a replacement tie rod stud engineered for marine and offshore steering systems requiring extended length precision components. This 0.500-inch longer stud is designed to work with HOWE's 23240 and 23250 tie rod assemblies, maintaining the critical 1.500 in/ft taper geometry that ensures proper fit and load distribution in high-stress boating applications.

Manufactured from steel with a precision-ground tapered shank, this stud delivers the exact dimensional tolerance required by HOWE's track-proven tie rod designs. The 1.500 in/ft taper ratio is critical to marine steering geometry—it controls the relationship between steering column input and wheel response while maintaining proper wear characteristics across the entire service life. At 0.39 lbs and 6.35 inches in length, this component integrates seamlessly into existing HOWE tie rod systems without modification to brackets or mounting hardware.

This stud is essential for boat operators and marine technicians performing tie rod replacement, repair, or system updates on vessels using HOWE precision steering components. Whether you're running offshore sport fishing boats, commercial patrol vessels, or high-performance pleasure craft, maintaining OEM-spec steering geometry is non-negotiable for responsive helm control and crew safety. The extended length of this stud accommodates specific geometric requirements in certain tie rod configurations where standard-length components would compromise steering precision or suspension alignment.

HOWE Precision Tie Rods are recognized throughout the marine industry for tight tolerances and durability under saltwater and high-vibration conditions. Purchasing the correct replacement stud—rather than a generic alternative—ensures your steering system maintains the performance standards that HOWE's engineering established. This single stud is sold individually, allowing technicians to replace only the worn or damaged component without purchasing an entire tie rod assembly.
