What it is and where it’s used

The bearing rod supports the pump piston and bearings inside the pump housing. Replacing a worn or bent rod fixes common pump issues like vibration, metal-on-metal wear, and noisy operation. If your airless paint sprayer not working shows signs of poor pressure, grinding sounds, or reduced output, a damaged bearing rod could be the culprit.

Why choose this Bedford aftermarket rod?
