ZF 2095.206.003 BUSH | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 2095.206.003 BUSH is a precision-engineered OEM genuine sleeve bearing designed to reduce friction and maintain precise shaft alignment within the planetary gear sets of heavy-duty construction machinery transmissions. This bushing acts as a sacrificial wear surface, protecting the more expensive gear and shaft components from metal-to-metal contact. The SKU 2095.206.003 is a critical wear item that must be replaced during a transmission overhaul to restore proper load distribution and prevent catastrophic internal damage. It is typically pressed into the gear hub or planetary carrier bore.

Symptoms of Failure

When the ZF 2095.206.003 bushing wears beyond tolerance, operators will notice distinct performance degradation. Look for these specific failure indicators:

• Low oil pressure warnings and gear slipping – Worn bushings increase internal clearances, causing hydraulic pressure to bleed past the sealing rings, leading to clutch pack slippage under load.
• Metallic debris in the transmission oil pan – Flaking or galling of the bushing material produces bronze or steel particles that contaminate the hydraulic system and accelerate wear on other components.
• Abnormal gear noise (whining or knocking) – Excessive radial play from a worn bushing allows the gear to wobble on its shaft, generating a distinct rhythmic noise that changes with engine RPM.
• Vibration during power shifts – A loose bushing causes the planetary gear set to oscillate, transmitting vibration through the driveline during directional changes.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This bushing is a standard wear component used across multiple ZF power shift transmission families. It is commonly found in the WG180, WG200, and WG210 series transmissions used in wheel loaders, graders, and heavy forklifts. It is also utilized in the 4WG-200 and 6WG-200 variants. Always verify the shaft diameter and housing bore dimensions against your specific transmission model before ordering.

During a full rebuild, this bushing is typically replaced alongside the 5838109007: DIFFERENTIAL and the 0750117075: TAPER ROLLER BEARING to ensure proper gear mesh. The 2095209019: DIFFERENTIAL assembly also relies on this bushing for correct shaft alignment. A 0631329086: SPRING PIN is often used to lock the bushing in place within the carrier bore.
