A bushing carries a pivot or shaft in a low friction sleeve, taking the wear that would otherwise fall on the mounting bore and letting a joint move freely. Pressed into its housing, it becomes the replaceable wear surface at a pivot point, renewed as clearance opens up rather than the casting around it. It runs quietly until it wears, when the joint develops play and knock.
A bushing carries a pivot or shaft in a low friction sleeve, taking the wear that would otherwise fall on the mounting bore and letting a joint move freely without metal grinding on metal. Pressed into its housing, it becomes the replaceable wear surface at a pivot point, so as clearance opens up over time the bushing gets renewed rather than the casting around it.
It runs quietly as long as the fit stays tight; once it wears, the joint develops play and knock, which is the cue to replace it. Renewing a bushing at that point restores the tight fit far more cheaply than machining the housing it sits in.
Match the inner bore, outer diameter, and length to the bushing coming out, since those dimensions determine whether it presses in and carries the correct shaft.
