PROBLEM
The existing tilt link 361-4673 Bearings can cause a squeal like noise to come from the tilt links on certain single tilt 416F, 420F, 422F, and 430F Backhoe Loaders. If the existing tilt link bearing fails, it will cause the squeal like noise but not be detrimental to the machine operation.
