## ⚙️ Key Features

-   0.025 kg
-   Supersedes 1546458
-   For the mechanical engine-speed, fuel-control or stop-linkage assembly
-   Listed for 79 applications across D, TAD and TWD series engines

## 🔌 Function

Provides the ball for a linkage socket in the speed, fuel-control or stop linkage, giving the joint a pivot that can swivel as the linkage moves.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Sloppy or vague throttle and stop control
-   Clicking or knocking from the linkage as it moves
-   Idle or maximum speed drifting from where it was set
-   Ball found worn oval or scored, and the socket found rattling on it
-   Stud found bent or its thread found stripped on removal

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Renew the socket or link end with the ball stud - a worn pair will not tighten up if only one half is replaced
-   Reset and recheck the linkage adjustment after fitting, and confirm the engine still shuts down cleanly
-   It replaces 1546458, so both numbers describe the same ball stud
