Its dimensions are 15 x 14 x 37 mm, contributing to its durability and effective noise reduction capabilities.

Key Features & Benefits

These little guys are pretty simple, actually. They’re basically a cushion, a sleeve that fits around a moving part – usually a rod or pin in the air valve assembly. They absorb vibration and impact, allowing things to move smoothly. They help keep everything aligned and prevent metal – on – metal contact. Think of your air valves as the heart of your braking system – they control the air pressure that actually stops the vehicle. This bushing sits inside that system, around the parts that move when the valves operate. It’s part of what makes sure the air flows correctly to activate your brakes. It’s not something you directly see working, it's inside the valve assembly itself.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It’s a small part, no doubt, but a worn bushing can cause a lot of trouble. It starts with extra vibration, then you might notice the brakes feeling a bit sluggish, or even inconsistent. Eventually, it can lead to leaks in your air system, and that’s obviously a safety issue. It acts like a shield preventing wear and tear on the more expensive valve components. You’ll notice if one goes bad because things won't move as smoothly and you might get some noise coming from the valve. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and getting a new one is a lot cheaper than replacing the whole valve assembly later on.
