Description
Overview:
The Bush (Position 10 Ram) is a precision-machined metal sleeve designed for the hydraulic ram assembly on Volvo mini excavators, specifically the EC18. This non-genuine part supports the ram pin and housing, helping maintain correct alignment and smooth movement under load. By providing a hard-wearing bearing surface at a critical pivot point, it reduces play and wear in the linkage so the hydraulic system operates efficiently. Built for frequent articulation and heavy-duty site use, it is suitable for routine maintenance or a full pin-and-bush refresh. A practical choice for tradespeople, plant hire teams, and DIY owners, this bush helps restore dependable performance to your Volvo EC18 without unnecessary downtime.
Key Features:
- Non-genuine replacement for the hydraulic ram (Position 10) on Volvo EC18 mini excavators
- Precision-machined for accurate fit of bore and outside diameter
- Durable metal construction for long service life in harsh conditions
- Helps minimise play, vibration, and uneven wear at the ram pivot

Typical Applications:
Used at the hydraulic ram pivot on the boom, dipper, or dozer blade where a plain bush supports the pin.

Common in workshop rebuilds, on-site repairs, and fleet maintenance for construction, landscaping, utilities, and rental machines.
