Description

Overview

Camshaft bush washer kit Eaton 501 is designed to restore correct S-cam support on trailers running Eaton 501 axles. This one-axle kit helps you renew worn camshaft bushes, spacers and circlips in one job, so you can bring brake performance back within spec. As a result, you reduce brake drag, uneven shoe wear and vibration that can show up after long service intervals.

Features

This camshaft bush washer kit for Eaton 501 axles supplies the bushes, washers and circlips required to refresh one complete axle set. The matching components keep the S-cam located correctly in the spider and help maintain consistent brake torque on both sides. In addition, you can swap everything as a set during a reline, which avoids mixing old and new hardware. As a result, workshop time stays predictable and repeatable across similar trailers.

Specifications and Materials

This kit is configured for one Eaton 501 axle set using S-cam foundation brakes and includes camshaft bushes, thrust washers and circlips matched to that layout. Components are built to suit heavy-vehicle brake duty, with durable bush material and hardware suitable for regular stop–start and highway work when installed to OEM practice. Part number: FB2307.

When planning the job, always confirm the axle series, brake size and S-cam length against existing hardware before stripping the trailer. Additionally, check bush outer diameters and camshaft journal condition so you can spot any extra wear that needs attention.

Compliance and Safety

Correctly supported S-cam bushes help the brake system apply evenly across the lining, which supports ADR-compliant stopping performance when the rest of the system is in good condition. During installation, you should follow the relevant axle and brake manufacturer procedures for bushing replacement, brake shoe fitment and slack adjuster setup. Always chock wheels, isolate the trailer and wear suitable PPE while working on suspension and brake hardware. Finally, recheck brake adjustment and air system integrity before returning the trailer to service.

Trailer Applications

This camshaft bush washer kit for Eaton 501 axles typically suits heavy semi-trailers using Eaton drive or trailer axles with S-cam drum brakes. Common applications include curtain-siders, tippers, tankers and general freight trailers that see linehaul or regional work. Additionally, fleets running mixed-age equipment can use this kit to bring older Eaton 501 axles back into line with current maintenance standards.
