Description
That clunking noise coming from your front axle when you turn, or the steering that’s getting vague and harder to control? This 50mm front axle bush is probably what you need to restore tight, responsive steering to your Massey Ferguson. When these bushes wear out, you don’t just get annoying play—you lose the precise control that keeps you tracking straight in furrows and safely navigating roads.
What You’re Getting
- Exact 48mm inner diameter fits shafts precisely without binding or excessive play
- 52.5mm outer diameter provides perfect fit in housing bore with proper wall thickness
- 50mm length gives full bearing surface to distribute loads evenly across the bush
- Heavy-duty construction handles the constant stress of steering forces and vertical loads
- Engineered specifically for the demanding requirements of MF 165 and 188 front axles
Where This Bush Shines
This bush fits Massey Ferguson 165 and 188 tractors, two of the most popular models in the MF lineup. These tractors are valued for their reliability and versatility, but front axle components wear with use, especially in loader applications or rough field conditions. Whether you’re using your 165 for loader work around the farmyard or your 188 for row crop cultivation, this bush handles the punishment.
Made to Last
The material is selected to handle the combination of radial loads, thrust forces, and contamination common in front axle applications. This isn’t some generic bushing that’ll wear out in a season—it’s built to handle years of pivoting motion, steering forces, and the dirt and moisture that farm work throws at it.
Installation Notes
Front axle bush replacement requires significant disassembly, but the results are worth it. Support the front end safely before beginning work. Remove worn bushes completely, inspecting housing bores for damage or wear. Clean everything thoroughly—dirt and debris will destroy new bushes fast. Press the new bush in square using proper tools, and check that shafts aren’t scored or worn before reassembly.
