Key Features
- Genuine OEM Dimensional Conformity — Manufactured to Genie's original material grade and dimensional specifications, delivering the same interference fit and load-bearing surface as the factory part.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to install in the same location as the original, requiring no machining, shimming, or adaptation.
- Confirmed Fitment — Compatible with the GTH-636 and GTH-844 telehandlers; always verify part number 7-229-568GT against your serial-numbered parts manual before ordering.
- Wear Resistance — A correctly seated thrust bushing controls axial movement and absorbs thrust loads at the mating interface, resisting wear over extended service intervals.
A thrust bushing is a low-profile bearing component positioned between two moving or rotating parts to absorb axial thrust loads and control end-play. By providing a low-friction bearing surface, it prevents metal-on-metal contact between the mating components, reducing wear on both the bushing and the surrounding assembly. When a thrust bushing wears thin or fails, excessive end-play develops, which can cause noise, uneven movement, and accelerated damage to adjacent components — making timely replacement important for keeping the assembly operating within tolerance.
