The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Connecting Rod Bushing designed for DPS and DPU series vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the original engineering specifications for the compaction equipment it serves. Compatible models include the DPS3050, DPS3060, DPU 2870, DPU 2950, DPU 2960, and DPU 2970 — covering both single-direction and reversible vibratory plate families. Ordering by part number ensures you receive the correct bushing for your machine without guesswork.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Fitment Tolerances — Machined to the original bore and wall dimensions, this bushing maintains the correct clearance between the connecting rod and wrist pin for proper load transfer during compaction cycles.
- Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original press-fit installation profile, seating correctly into the connecting rod small end without reworking the bore.
- Broad DPS and DPU Compatibility — Fits the DPS3050, DPS3060, DPU 2870, DPU 2950, DPU 2960, and DPU 2970, covering 30 kN single-direction and 28–29 kN reversible plate compactor models.
- Protects Connecting Rod and Crankshaft — A worn or seized bushing accelerates wear on the connecting rod and pin, leading to engine knock and compaction loss; replacing it on schedule preserves the entire bottom-end assembly.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Backed by Wacker Neuson's OEM supply chain, this component carries the same part number used by authorized service centers worldwide.
The connecting rod bushing is a small but load-bearing sleeve pressed into the small end of the connecting rod, where it acts as the bearing surface for the wrist pin that links the rod to the piston. In a vibratory plate compactor, the engine runs at sustained high RPM to generate the eccentric motion that drives compaction force into the ground, placing repetitive stress on this bushing with every revolution. When the bushing wears thin or collapses, the wrist pin develops excessive play, causing audible knocking, loss of compression, and accelerated damage to the piston and rod — ultimately taking the plate compactor out of service until a full bottom-end inspection and rebuild is completed.
