Pressed into its bore, this bushing carries a rotating or sliding shaft in a smooth sleeve and takes the wear and friction at a joint so the shaft and housing do not grind directly on each other. It is the sacrificial surface that wears in place of the more expensive parts around it, a routine replacement at a pivot or linkage showing play, noise, or looseness.
A bushing carries a rotating or sliding shaft in a smooth sleeve, taking the wear and friction at a joint so the shaft and its housing do not grind on each other directly. Pressed into its bore, it becomes the sacrificial surface meant to wear in place of the more expensive parts around it, which is why it is a routine replacement at a pivot or linkage.
When a bushing wears, the joint develops play and slop that shows up as noise, looseness, or misalignment in whatever it supports. Match the bore, shaft diameter, and length to the bushing being replaced, since a bushing has to fit both its housing and its shaft to do its job.
