1540869 Bushing-Rod Fits Caterpillar Models

One New Aftermarket Replacement Connecting Rod Bushing for Caterpillar (Cat) Engines

This connecting rod bushing (piston pin bushing) is a precision engine component fitted at the small end of the connecting rod, providing the bearing surface between the rod and the piston pin. It is used in Caterpillar's compact 3-Series and C-Series diesel engines found across a wide range of Cat skid steer loaders, multi terrain loaders, vibratory compactors, and asphalt pavers. Note: some sources indicate this bushing requires boring after installation to achieve the correct finished bore size - confirm with your engine rebuilder before installing.
