This equaliser bushing is a crucial component in the vehicle's suspension, specifically designed to absorb shock and allow controlled articulation in the equalising beam or bogie system. Manufactured to high Volvo standards, it provides superior damping and durability over a worn bushing that has lost its elasticity. Operators may experience increased road shock transmission, a harsher ride, or audible knocking sounds from the rear suspension if this bushing is failing.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

Torque all suspension fasteners to specification — under-torque causes wear, over-torque causes fatigue cracking. Replace bushings in pairs. Grease all zerks after fitting. Check alignment after suspension work.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
A failing equaliser bushing will typically manifest as increased vibration and noise from the rear suspension, particularly when driving over bumps or uneven terrain. If ignored, the bushing can degrade further, leading to a less stable ride and potentially uneven tire wear on the tandem axles. Continued operation with severely degraded bushings can compromise the integrity of the suspension linkage.
Ensure the mounting surfaces and the bushing's outer diameter are clean and free of grease, which can cause it to slip. Press the new bushing in straight and evenly to prevent damage to the rubber element.
Inspect the equalising beam, torque rods, and adjacent suspension mounts for signs of stress or wear when replacing an equaliser bushing.
