Description
Overview:
The Bush (Position 6) for JCB 18Z-1 mini excavators is a non-genuine replacement part used at a key pivot point in the arm mechanism. It is a durable, precision-machined metal sleeve designed to support the pin, control play at the joint, and keep the linkage running smoothly under load. By maintaining correct alignment and reducing wear between moving parts, the bush helps protect pins and housings and keeps the machine responsive. Suitable for construction and landscaping work, it is intended for JCB compact equipment such as the 18Z-1 and 18Z1. Position 6 refers to its location in the manufacturer's parts diagram, helping you match the bush to the correct joint during maintenance or overhaul.
