ZF 2094.222.011 BUSH | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

This OEM genuine ZF 2094.222.011 BUSH is a precision-engineered component designed to serve as a critical wear surface within the planetary gearset of heavy-duty construction machinery transmissions. Positioned between rotating shafts and stationary housings, this bushing reduces friction, absorbs radial loads, and maintains precise gear alignment under extreme torque conditions. The SKU 2094.222.011 is manufactured to ZF’s exacting tolerances, ensuring a seamless fit that prevents metal-to-metal contact and extends the service life of the entire drivetrain assembly. When installed alongside a 5838109009: DIFFERENTIAL, this bushing supports the differential carrier’s rotational stability, directly influencing power transfer efficiency in wheel loaders and excavators.

Symptoms of Failure

When the ZF 2094.222.011 bushing wears beyond its service limit, operators will notice distinct performance degradation. Persistent transmission whining or grinding noises during gear engagement is a primary indicator, often caused by the bushing’s inner diameter expanding and allowing shaft wobble. Intermittent gear slipping under load occurs as the bushing loses its interference fit, permitting axial play that disrupts clutch pack engagement. Metallic debris in the transmission oil filter is a common finding during routine maintenance, signaling that the bushing’s bronze or steel matrix is eroding. Finally, visible oil seepage around the transmission housing seals can develop when a worn bushing misaligns the shaft, compromising the seal lip contact. Replacing this part proactively prevents cascading damage to the 0750117075: TAPER ROLLER BEARING, which relies on proper shaft positioning for load distribution.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This bushing is engineered for ZF’s heavy-duty powershift transmission families commonly deployed in construction machinery. It is a direct fit for the ZF WG180 series (used in compact wheel loaders), the ZF WG200 series (mid-size excavators and graders), and the ZF WG310 series (large mining trucks). Additionally, it is compatible with select ZF Ergopower and ZF Ecolite transmissions where the planetary gearset uses a 45mm shaft journal. For complete drivetrain restoration, pair this bushing with the 2093209023: DIFFERENTIAL and the 5838300626: DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING to ensure all mating surfaces are renewed simultaneously.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know if the ZF 2094.222.011 bushing is the correct replacement for my transmission?
A: Verify your transmission model number (e.g., WG180, WG200) and measure the shaft journal diameter. This bushing fits a 45mm shaft with a 55mm housing bore. If your existing bushing shows uneven wear or scoring, replacement is mandatory.

Q: Can I reuse the old bushing if I only replace the differential?
A: No. The bushing and the 5838109009: DIFFERENTIAL wear together. Reusing a worn bushing will cause premature differential failure due to misalignment. Always replace both components as a matched set.

Q: What is the typical service interval for this bushing in a wheel loader?
A: Under normal operating conditions (8-10 hours/day), expect replacement every 3,000-4,000 hours. Harsh environments with dust or heavy loads may reduce this to 2,000 hours. Monitor for the failure symptoms listed above.
