Wabco 9110042024 Bushing

Description

This bushing is a critical component within the air brake systems of commercial vehicles, specifically used in air compressors. Manufactured by Wabco with MPN 9110042024, this bushing ensures smooth and reliable operation of the air compressor. It's dimensions are 350 x 20 x 350 mm. This OE specification component is designed to reduce vibration, minimize noise, and enhance the overall durability of the air brake system, contributing to improved vehicle safety and reduced maintenance costs.

Key Features & Benefits

This little bushing basically lets something move smoothly. In this case, it allows the compressor's components – often the piston or a connecting rod – to move back and forth without a lot of friction or binding. It's a simple part, really – usually just a sleeve made of rubber or polyurethane. It absorbs vibration too, lessening noise and wear. Think of your air compressor as the heart of your air brakes. It pumps up the air pressure that actually stops the vehicle. This bushing sits inside the compressor, within a moving assembly. It keeps things aligned and moving freely, so the compressor can build up that air pressure consistently. It’s not something you see directly when you’re looking at the whole brake system, it’s tucked away inside the compressor unit.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It's important because if that bushing wears out or gets damaged, that smooth movement gets messed up. You’ll notice if it's bad because the compressor will start working harder. It might be louder than usual, take longer to build up pressure, or even overheat. Basically, a worn bushing puts extra stress on the whole system. If the compressor has to struggle, it can lead to bigger, more expensive problems down the road – even complete compressor failure. They're a wear item, so eventually they need replacing. You can find them pretty easily, places like Fixparts Online usually have a good selection, and they’re usually a relatively inexpensive fix compared to dealing with a broken compressor.
