Set into a pivot or mounting bore, a bushing gives a shaft or pin a low friction surface to ride on and carries the wear that would otherwise chew into the housing itself. It is the sacrificial element at the joint, cheap to renew and pressed in as a serviceable component. As it wears, clearance opens and the joint loosens into play or knock.
Set into a pivot or mounting bore, a bushing gives a shaft or pin a low friction surface to ride on and carries the wear that would otherwise chew into the housing itself. It is the sacrificial element at the joint, cheap to renew compared with the part it protects, which is exactly why it is pressed in as a serviceable component.
As the bushing wears, clearance opens and the joint loosens into play or knock, the signal that it is due. Match the bore, outer diameter, and length to the bushing being replaced, since those dimensions decide whether it seats and carries the right shaft.
