Strong steel bushings for any AEG

The SHS 8mm Steel Bushings are a full set of six solid bushings for AEG gearboxes. Made from quality steel, they are built to take the strain of upgraded springs and gears without cracking or deforming.

A dependable rebuild part

Bushings take constant load every time the gearbox cycles, so worn or cracked ones cause noise, misalignment and premature gear wear. Swapping in a fresh set during a rebuild keeps the gears running true and protects the shell.

Fits standard 8mm gearboxes

These bushings suit most standard Version 2 and Version 3 gearboxes drilled for 8mm. They are a straightforward, universal replacement for the factory bushings in a huge range of AEGs.

Check before you fit

Confirm your shell is drilled for 8mm before ordering, as some gearboxes use 6mm, 7mm or 9mm bushings. Explore more airsoft accessories, or book our Kent repair service to fit them.

Frequently asked questions

How are these different from the cross slot version?

These are standard flat-faced 8mm steel bushings. The cross slot version adds machined grooves that hold lubricant, but both are solid steel and fit the same 8mm bores.

Which gearboxes do they fit?

They suit most standard Version 2 and Version 3 gearboxes drilled for 8mm bushings. Always confirm your shell uses 8mm before fitting.

Are steel bushings suitable for upgraded guns?

Yes. Solid steel bushings are strong and withstand the higher radial forces of stiffer springs and upgraded gears, making them popular for high-powered builds.

How many do I get?

The set contains six bushings, a full complement for a single gearbox.

Can you fit these for me?

Yes. Our Kent workshop can install bushings as part of a gearbox rebuild or repair if you would rather not open the gearbox yourself.
