A track link for a ground-engaging track system includes a link body having a pin bore formed in a first link strap and a bushing bore formed in a second link strap. The link body includes, upon an outboard link side, a bore peripheral surface extending circumferentially around a bore center axis, and a guide protrusion including an outer bump surface located outboard of the bore peripheral surface. The pin bore receives a track pin attached by swaging and defines a diametric plane through the bore center axis oriented parallel to an upper rail surface. At least a majority of the outer bump surface is between the diametric plane and the upper rail surface, and an entirety of the outer bump surface may be between the bore center axis and the upper rail surface. The guide protrusion protects material of the track link and/or track pin from wear that can prevent re-swaging.
