Wabco 4801040042 Bush Kit

Description

This Wabco Bush Kit, MPN 4801040042, is a repair kit designed for use in Air Brake Systems, specifically within the Air Processing Unit. It provides a reliable sealing solution, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the air brake system. Measuring 75 x 60 x 95 mm, this kit is manufactured to OE specification, guaranteeing a precise fit and consistent quality.

Key Features & Benefits

This kit basically replaces the rubber bushings – little cushions, really – inside your air processing unit. That unit handles a lot of things, like regulating air pressure, filtering out moisture and contaminants, and making sure the air supply to your brakes is clean and consistent. The bushings help dampen vibration, absorb shock, and keep everything stable inside that unit. It's a collection of these small, but important, rubber parts. Think of the air processing unit as the heart of your air brake system. It provides clean, regulated air to everything else – the brakes themselves, the ABS, even the air suspension if you have it. The bushings don’t directly make the brakes work, but they support the unit, allowing it to function correctly. They help keep the internal components from banging around and getting damaged.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, those rubber bushings don't last forever. They dry out, crack, and wear down over time, especially with road vibrations and temperature swings. When they go bad, you’ll start to feel more vibration in the cab, and the air processing unit itself can start to fail prematurely because it’s not being supported properly. You’ll notice if the unit starts making excessive noise, or if your brakes feel a little spongy. It’s a relatively inexpensive fix that can save you a lot of money down the road by preventing damage to more expensive components. We’ve got a good selection of these kits over at Fixparts Online, and it’s something most folks can tackle as part of regular maintenance. Replacing them keeps everything running smoothly and, most importantly, keeps you safe.
