Description

Overview

Rubber radius rod bush cushions movement at the radius rod mounting point and helps keep the suspension joint controlled under load. Because the bush takes up movement between the rod and the mounting hardware, it also helps limit knock, wear and unwanted play through the connection. The taper profile suits applications where the bush needs to seat firmly into the housing instead of relying on a straight-sided fit. That makes this bush important to joint stability and service life when the suspension cycles through load changes and road movement.

Features

• Taper rubber bush for radius rod service work
• 55.6mm outside diameter for housing match-up
• 31.75mm inside diameter for the rod or sleeve fit
• 60.3mm overall length for dimension checking before fitting

Specifications and Materials

This rubber radius rod bush measures 55.6mm OD, 31.75mm ID and 60.3mm in length. The tapered body gives buyers a clear set of dimensions to compare before pressing the bush into place, and the rubber construction suits suspension points that need controlled flex instead of a hard metal-to-metal contact. Part number: SP1301. For general material background, see this engineering guide to elastomers for reference.

Compatibility and Fitment

Match outside diameter, inside diameter, overall length and taper profile against the old bush and the housing before ordering. Compare the old bush from the least worn end if the outer lip has deformed in service. These cross-references show where this part replaces the part numbers and applications listed. Some installations may need minor changes. 099156, 161-07043, 16107043, 311147, 5000000HV0501, 504823, FL83.2151, FL832151, ULA6295, UXA0011, WT1301-I, WT1301I

Compliance and Safety

Inspect the rod eye, housing and any inner sleeve before fitting the new bush. Replace any bush that shows cracking, hardening, tearing or separation, because worn rubber can let the radius rod move out of line under braking and suspension travel. After installation, confirm the bush seats evenly and that the joint moves as intended without binding or side-loading.

Trailer Applications

Workshops fit this rubber radius rod bush during suspension rebuilds, rod repairs and general trailer service where the original bush has worn, split or gone hard. It suits mechanical trailer suspension points that need a tapered bush to locate the rod and absorb movement through the joint. Fleets also replace this style of bush when chasing loose suspension feel, uneven wear or visible play at the rod connection.

Why Choose ICS Trailers

When the radius rod hardware is already apart, changing a worn bush at the same time avoids pulling the joint down again later. ICS Trailers stocks suspension service parts that commonly wear together, so you can order bushes and related hardware in one job.
