Description
Overview:
The Bush (Position 2 Arm) is a non-genuine replacement part for the Volvo EC18 Mini Excavator. It is a precision-machined, heavy-duty cylindrical sleeve made from hardened steel to withstand shock loads and abrasive conditions on site. Fitted at the Position 2 arm joint, it supports the pivot pin, keeps the linkage aligned, and helps maintain smooth, controlled movement of the arm. By restoring the correct fit between pin and bore, this bush reduces play, limits wear, and helps protect surrounding components. It is suitable for routine servicing or overhauls on EC18 machines used in construction, utilities, landscaping, and grounds maintenance. Designed to match the original dimensions for proper interference fit, it offers reliable performance and cost-effective maintenance of your excavator's arm assembly.
