Description

Overview

This camshaft bush washer circlip kit one axle set gives you a complete camshaft hardware service kit for heavy trailer drum brakes. It replaces worn camshaft bushes, thrust washers and retaining circlips so the brake camshaft runs true in the brake spider and support brackets. Additionally, the matched components help maintain correct camshaft alignment, which supports even brake shoe contact and consistent brake response. As a result, workshops can restore brake performance during scheduled maintenance without chasing individual hardware pieces.

Features

This camshaft bush washer circlip kit one axle set is supplied as a dedicated foundation brake hardware pack for a single axle. Key features include:

• One axle set configured to service both brake camshafts on a typical heavy trailer axle.
• Bushes, thrust washers and circlips selected to support correct brake camshaft location and rotation.
• Hardware kit format that simplifies parts picking and reduces workshop downtime during brake jobs.
• Suited to preventative maintenance, camshaft overhaul or camshaft replacement tasks on compatible drum brake axles.

Specifications and Materials

This kit is designed around the brake camshaft hardware layout used in heavy vehicle foundation brake assemblies. Part number: FB2318. In typical service, camshaft bushes use wear resistant metals or engineered polymers, while thrust washers and circlips rely on suitable spring or carbon steels to hold the camshaft in position under load. Additionally, the matched parts in this kit are sized to work with standard brake spider and camshaft dimensions used in common heavy trailer drum brake designs.

Compliance and Safety

Heavy vehicle brake work must always follow the vehicle manufacturer service manual and any local heavy vehicle braking regulations. Additionally, technicians should inspect the brake camshaft, spiders and brake shoes for wear before reassembly so related issues are corrected at the same time. In addition, you should renew seals, lubricants and any damaged fasteners while the axle is apart, which helps the camshaft bush washer circlip kit one axle set deliver consistent long term performance. Finally, always torque fasteners to the specified values and confirm brake adjustment before returning the trailer to service.

Trailer Applications

Workshops can use this camshaft bush washer circlip kit one axle set when overhauling drum brake axles on semi-trailers, dog trailers and other heavy trailers that match the listed cross references. Additionally, the kit format helps fleet operators standardise brake camshaft rebuild procedures across multiple trailers. As a result, maintenance planners can order by kit instead of individual small parts, which reduces errors when preparing service jobs. Furthermore, using matched hardware on each axle helps keep braking performance balanced across the trailer group.

Cross-reference and Suitability
