WASHER (Bobcat BC100348-06X)

A worn washer can compromise the clamping force of a bolted joint, leading to loosening over time. This aftermarket replacement part references the Bobcat catalog number BC100348-06X. The washer functions as a load-distributing spacer placed under a fastener head or nut. Its plain mechanical role is to prevent galling and distribute tightening torque evenly across the mating surface. A common failure consequence is that a crushed or missing washer allows the fastener to embed into the softer material, reducing preload and causing joint separation. During routine service, a washer may become deformed or corroded, affecting its ability to maintain consistent clamping. Verify the serial number or application, then call (562) 693-7748.
