Plastic Bushing Kit
SAF-Holland

Plastic bushing kit serves as a wear-reduction package for landing gear or related articulating components where metal-on-metal contact would otherwise lead to increased friction, scuffing, and wear. VMRS 053-007-083 classifies this kit within a subcategory focused on non-metallic bushings used to dampen vibration and accommodate misalignment in heavy-duty hardware. Category 42591 situates the items within a broader landing gear maintenance context, emphasizing longevity, smoother motion, and reduced maintenance costs. The plastic bushings provide lower friction coefficients, help dampen torsional and axial vibrations, and cushion impacts during rough-road operation. Their application spans maintenance on trailers and tractors that experience high-mileage cycles or frequent load changes, contributing to quieter operation, extended component life, and lower overall life-cycle costs for the wheel-end and landing gear assemblies.
