Frequently asked questions

What does the Starter Pinion End Bush do?
The Starter Pinion End Bush supports the armature shaft at the pinion (drive) end of the Lucas M418-type starter motor. It seats in the pinion-end bracket and acts as the plain bearing for the drive end of the armature, keeping the shaft concentric as the pinion engages the flywheel ring gear.
Where does the starter pinion end bush sit?
The starter pinion end bush sits in the pinion-end (drive-end) bracket of the Lucas M418-type starter motor. It carries the drive end of the armature shaft opposite the commutator-end bush, so the armature stays centred while the pinion throws out to meet the flywheel.
When is the pinion end bush replaced?
The pinion end bush is typically renewed during a starter motor overhaul. As the bush wears, the armature can drift off centre and drag, which usually shows as slow or noisy cranking. Fitting new end bushes when rebuilding the Lucas M418-type starter restores proper shaft alignment.
