Bushing 8697949 is used on selected Hiab equipment within pivot points and moving assemblies. It provides a bearing surface between components and helps reduce wear where movement occurs. Bushings are commonly fitted in joints, linkages and mounting points throughout the crane. They help maintain correct alignment while allowing smooth rotation or movement between parts. Over time bushings can wear due to load, friction and contamination. Excessive wear may result in increased play or noise within the assembly. Replacing worn bushings with the correct Hiab part number helps maintain proper fit and smooth operation. Compatibility Part number 8697949 is fitted to selected Hiab machines.
