Description
Overview:
The Bush Ram Position 1 for Volvo EC18 Mini Excavator is a precision‐machined steel sleeve designed for the hydraulic ram assembly on the EC18. It supports the ram pin, maintains alignment under load, and reduces metal‐to‐metal contact to limit wear. As a direct replacement for OEM 996 518, it restores correct clearances and helps minimise play at the joint, aiding smooth operation and longer service life of adjoining components. Built for regular maintenance and repair work, this bush is suitable for construction, utilities, and landscaping tasks where compact excavators operate in abrasive, wet, or high‐impact conditions. Its robust build and accurate sizing allow a straightforward fit during scheduled overhauls or unscheduled repairs, helping keep your mini excavator reliable on site.
