Wabco 9617221004 Support

Description

This support is a critical component within air brake systems, specifically functioning as part of air valves. It is manufactured by Wabco with MPN 9617221004 and ensures reliable operation of the braking mechanism. This support is designed to meet OE specifications, contributing to consistent and predictable braking performance and enhanced system durability. It's a key element in maintaining the safety and efficiency of air brake systems.

Key Features & Benefits

It does pretty much what it sounds like – it physically supports the air valve. But it’s more than just holding it up. It also helps dampen vibration from the road and the air brake system itself, and it keeps everything properly aligned. Some supports also have integrated dampening materials to further reduce wear and tear. Think of it like this – your air valves are a key part of getting your brakes to work right, and this support is holding that key part steady. It's part of the larger air brake system that controls your air brakes, letting you safely stop the vehicle. It’s a relatively small piece, but it’s connected to a lot of important stuff. You’ll find them often near the air compressor and along the air lines.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Without a solid support, that air valve will rattle around. That vibration can cause premature wear on the valve itself, potentially leading to leaks or even failure. It acts like a shield, protecting the valve from impacts and constant movement. A failing air valve can lead to reduced braking performance, and nobody wants that. You’ll notice if one of these is broken or missing pretty quickly – usually, there's a lot of rattling and maybe even some air leaks you can hear. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and getting a replacement is a pretty straightforward fix to keep your air brakes working safely.
