Description
Overview:
This non-genuine Bush (Position 5) is a precision replacement for JCB 8018CTS mini excavators. It is a wear-resistant metal sleeve designed to support a pivot pin and control movement at the Position 5 location, helping to keep the joint aligned and free-running under load. The bush reduces play, vibration and metal-to-metal contact, which protects pins and housings from premature wear. Sized for a correct interference fit, it is suitable for routine servicing or overhaul work on compact excavators such as the JCB 8018CTS and 8018 CTS. Dimensions: inner diameter 30 mm, outer diameter 38 mm, length 40 mm. A practical, cost-effective option when you need dependable performance without the price of a genuine part.

Typical Applications:
