The Bomag 05815074 Sliding Bush is a genuine OEM component designed for Bomag BW 144 AD-2, BW 154 AD-2, BW 170 AD, BW 174 AC, BW 174 AC AM, BW 174 AD, and BW 174 AD AM tandem rollers. Sourced directly from Bomag, this sliding bush delivers an exact dimensional match to the original part it replaces. It installs directly into the articulation or steering linkage assembly with no rework required, restoring proper movement and bearing clearance to the machine.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Material Spec — manufactured to Bomag's original bushing tolerances, ensuring correct wall thickness, bore diameter, and surface finish for smooth low-friction operation
- Direct-Fit Replacement — dimensionally identical to the original sliding bush, allowing straightforward installation into existing housings on BW 144 AD-2, BW 154 AD-2, BW 170 AD, and BW 174 series tandem rollers
- Broad Tandem Roller Coverage — fits the BW 144 AD-2, BW 154 AD-2, BW 170 AD, BW 174 AC, BW 174 AC AM, BW 174 AD, and BW 174 AD AM, covering multiple variants in the BW 174 family
- Restores Steering and Articulation Integrity — a worn sliding bush allows excess play in pivot joints, causing imprecise steering response and uneven drum tracking on finished asphalt surfaces
- Verified Part Number Traceability — ordering by Bomag part number 05815074 confirms you receive the exact bush specified in the BOMAG parts catalog for these tandem roller models
A sliding bush is a plain cylindrical bearing that lines a pivot or articulation joint, allowing controlled rotational or oscillating movement between two mating components while absorbing load and reducing metal-to-metal contact. In a tandem roller, these bushings are typically found in the articulated steering joint and oscillating drum linkages, where they keep pivot movement smooth and play within tight tolerances. When a sliding bush wears down, clearance in the joint increases, leading to loose or wandering steering, vibration in the drum assembly, and accelerated wear on the surrounding housing — making timely replacement essential to maintaining consistent compaction quality on asphalt finishes.
