880440006 – Genuine FOTON Bush | Durable Suspension & Linkage Bushing

PART NO.:
880440006
Part Name:
Bush
Russian Name:
Втулка

In the complex chassis and suspension systems of a commercial truck, every connection point must be designed for durability and smooth articulation. As a leading provider of high-performance Foton truck parts, we present the essential Bush, precisely identified by the OEM part number 880440006. This component is a critical vibration-damping and wear-resistant bushing used in various linkage points, suspension arms, and stabilizer bar mounts on FOTON trucks. The genuine bush, part number 880440006, is engineered to absorb shocks, reduce metal-on-metal contact, and provide precise articulation, ensuring stable handling, reduced noise, and extended component life under heavy loads.

Primary Function of the 880440006 Bush in Truck Systems

The Bush, part number 880440006, is a cylindrical sleeve or collar, typically made from rubber, polyurethane, or a composite material. It is pressed into a housing or eyelet of a suspension or linkage component.

Its primary function is to serve as a flexible bearing. It allows a bolt or pin to pass through its center, enabling controlled movement and rotation while dampening vibrations and shocks transmitted from the road. The specific bush, 880440006, isolates harsh impacts, prevents direct metal-to-metal contact, and reduces noise, ensuring a smoother ride and protecting more expensive mechanical parts from premature wear.

Common applications include suspension control arms, sway bar links, leaf spring shackles, and track rod ends. The correct functioning of this bush is vital for maintaining proper wheel alignment, steering response, and overall vehicle stability.

Key Benefits of the Genuine FOTON Bush

Vibration and Noise Isolation: The elastic material of bush 880440006 effectively absorbs road shocks and high-frequency vibrations, significantly reducing cabin noise and driver fatigue.
Controlled Articulation: Allows for precise movement in suspension and steering linkages, maintaining correct geometry and ensuring predictable handling and tire contact.
Wear Protection: Acts as a sacrificial component, preventing direct contact and galling between metal parts. This extends the life of expensive arms, links, and mounting points.
Perfect OEM Fit: The exact outer diameter, inner diameter, and length of part 880440006 ensure a tight press-fit into its housing and correct clearance for the bolt, eliminating slop and misalignment.

Material Types and Engineering Design

The genuine 880440006 bush is manufactured from materials chosen for resilience and durability. Common materials include natural or synthetic rubber (often reinforced with fabric), polyurethane, and sometimes specialized thermoplastic elastomers.

Rubber bushes offer excellent vibration damping and are cost-effective. Polyurethane bushes, which part 880440006 may be made from, provide increased rigidity, better resistance to oils and chemicals, and longer service life, often at the expense of a slightly firmer ride.

The design may include internal flutes, grooves, or a specific void structure to control the direction and degree of flex. Some bushes are bonded to an outer metal sleeve for easy installation and precise fitment. The material compound is formulated to resist ozone, UV exposure, and temperature extremes.

Symptoms of a Worn or Failed Bush

A deteriorated Bush, part number 880440006, leads to noticeable changes in vehicle dynamics and sound. The most common symptom is clunking, knocking, or rattling noises from the front or rear suspension when driving over bumps or during steering inputs.

Handling may become vague or imprecise, with increased body roll or a tendency for the vehicle to wander. Excessive tire wear, particularly uneven or cupped wear patterns, can be caused by incorrect wheel alignment due to worn bushings allowing movement.

Visual inspection may reveal cracks, splits, or chunks missing from the rubber. In severe cases, the bush may be completely separated or extruded from its housing. Replacing the worn bush 880440006 is essential to restore proper suspension function and safety.

Installation Procedure and Best Practices

Replacing the bush 880440006 often requires pressing the old bushing out and the new one in. This is typically done with a hydraulic press or a specialized bushing removal/installation tool kit.

The component (e.g., control arm) must be removed from the vehicle. The old bushing is pressed out carefully to avoid damaging the housing. The bore must be cleaned of rust and debris. The new bush, part 880440006, should be lubricated with a soapy water solution or the specified lubricant (never petroleum-based grease with rubber) and pressed squarely into place until fully seated.

For bonded bushings with an outer metal sleeve, ensure the sleeve is correctly oriented. Tighten the through-bolt only after the vehicle is back on the ground at normal ride height, to avoid pre-loading and twisting the bush, which can lead to premature failure.

Inspection, Diagnosis, and Maintenance Tips

Regular inspection of suspension bushes, including 880440006, is key to preventive maintenance and safety.

Visual Inspection: During routine service, visually inspect all visible bushes for cracking, splitting, tearing, or excessive deformation. Check for signs of the bushing being “squeezed out” of its housing.

Physical Check: Use a pry bar (carefully) to check for excessive movement in suspension joints. With the vehicle safely supported, try to move linkage components by hand. Any noticeable play or clunk indicates wear in the bushings, such as part 880440006.

Listening for Noises: Pay attention to new or worsening clunks and rattles from the chassis, especially when driving on uneven roads or during braking and acceleration. These are primary indicators of bushing failure.

Preventive Replacement: Consider replacing key suspension bushings as part of a major service interval (e.g., every 100,000 miles) or when other front-end components are being replaced. This proactive approach restores handling precision and prevents uneven tire wear.

The Importance of Genuine FOTON Bushings

The material compound and dimensional accuracy of the 880440006 bush are critical. Genuine FOTON parts use rubber or polyurethane formulations that are tested for durability, elasticity, and resistance to environmental factors.

Aftermarket bushings may use inferior materials that harden, crack, or deform quickly, leading to a return of symptoms in a short time. The precise dimensions of the OEM part ensure correct fit and performance, maintaining the vehicle’s designed suspension geometry.

For fleet consistency and predictable handling, using the genuine bush 880440006 across all vehicles ensures uniform performance and simplifies maintenance diagnostics.

Compatibility and Application Verification

The bush 880440006 is designed for specific mounting points on specific FOTON truck models. Using the correct part number is essential for proper function.

A bushing with incorrect dimensions (OD, ID, or length) will not fit properly, leading to incorrect installation, excessive stress, or failure to control movement. Always verify the application using the vehicle’s VIN or a reliable parts catalog.

Bushings are often side-specific (left/right) or position-specific (front/rear, upper/lower). Double-check the exact location before ordering and installing part 880440006 to ensure a correct repair.

Conclusion: The Foundation of Smooth and Controlled Handling

The Bush, OEM part 880440006, is a fundamental component that quietly ensures ride comfort, handling precision, and chassis longevity. Its role in isolating vibrations and providing controlled movement is indispensable for both driver comfort and vehicle safety.

Choosing the genuine FOTON part guarantees the material quality, dimensional precision, and durability required for the harsh operating environment of a commercial truck. It is a direct investment in maintaining the vehicle’s designed performance and protecting more expensive suspension components.

Do not overlook the importance of these silent performers. For all your suspension and chassis maintenance, insist on the authentic 880440006 Bush. Explore our comprehensive catalog of genuine FOTON chassis parts to ensure your fleet delivers a smooth, safe, and reliable performance on every road.
