205-70-72180 Komatsu Bushing

The 205-70-72180 Komatsu bushing is a wear-resistant sleeve designed to support rotating or sliding components such as pins or shafts. It helps reduce friction and wear between metal parts, extending the service life of machinery linkages and joints.

Here’s a general guide for proper installation:

1. Turn off the machine and ensure it is safely supported before beginning work.
2. Remove any components blocking access to the worn bushing location.
3. Carefully extract the old bushing, taking care not to damage the bore or surrounding surfaces.
4. Clean the bore and mating surfaces to remove dirt, rust, or debris.
5. Press the new 205-70-72180 bushing into place using an appropriate driver tool, ensuring it seats evenly and squarely.
6. Reassemble any removed parts and verify correct fit and movement.

The 205-70-72180 Komatsu bushing is used in various Komatsu heavy equipment applications where rotational or sliding movement occurs, such as steering or linkage assemblies. Compatibility depends on your machine’s model and design, so verify fitment using your equipment’s service documentation before ordering. If you are unsure don’t hesitate to reach out to Propel Parts for help verifying fitment.

Yes, the 205-70-72180 Komatsu bushing is engineered to meet or exceed OEM specifications for dimensional accuracy and durability. When replacing wear components like bushings, choose genuine or high-quality aftermarket parts that meet or exceed OEM expectations to help ensure dependable performance and long service life.

Bushings should be inspected during routine maintenance or whenever the related assembly is serviced. Look for signs of wear, excessive play, or scoring on mating surfaces. Replace the bushing if any damage is detected to maintain proper alignment and reduce unnecessary wear on associated components

Typical indicators include:

1. Increased play or looseness in joints or linkages
2. Unusual noise during movement
3. Visible grooves, flattening, or surface wear on the bushing
4. Misalignment of connected parts

A quality bushing helps reduce friction and wear between moving parts while maintaining correct alignment. Using genuine or high-quality aftermarket parts that meet or exceed OEM expectations supports smoother operation, minimizes maintenance issues, and contributes to longer equipment life.
