Husqvarna 532195227 Steering Bushing

Quick delivery and exact fit.

Got it to fix steering problems on a husqvarna yth21k46 and it works great!

Worked as intended on my Husqvarna mower

Fixed the sloppy steering in my lawn tractor, my rating of only 4 stars is due the bushing I received is made of plastic not metal as is in product description

This piece fit perfectly and tightened my steering wheel, but installing it was tough. Because the hood of the mower has a lot of the wiring attached to it, We couldn't remove the hood. So, we were working through the hole the steering shaft protrudes from. That would have been okay, if there was another way to reach in and pry the old part out. It took two of us to hold the hood precariously enough to allow us to slip a screwdriver in from the side and pry the part out by hammering on the screwdriver. Getting the new part in was even worse.

I can't comment about how long this bushing will last as I have just installed it. However, it fit my Craftsman/Husquevarna mower perfectly. It made my steering like new again!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:worked great

This is the correct bushing for a 2015 (and presumably prior years) Poulan Pro 19A42 riding mower. The removal of the old one was relatively easy, although after taking the steering wheel and geared nut off the top of the steering shaft, you do need to move the gas tank to make the area most easily accessible. That only involves removing a couple of screws and pulling the tank out and moving it off to the side. Then you can take a flat screwdriver and pop the old bushing out and slide it up the steering shaft and off. The new one slides down the steering shaft and taps into the hole. Be aware that it fits into the hole at an angle, so you need to make sure to position the bushing with the arrow stamped onto the top of it facing forward. Also, it's handy to take something hollow like a piece of pipe that will fit over the shaft and slide down to sit flatly on the top of the bushing, and tap on that to set the bushing. That will ensure the bushing is at the correct angle. ALSO, while you're at it, check the steering shaft down near the bottom, a short distance above the geared nut that fits against the geared plate to control the steering. There is a horizontal hole in the steering shaft that holds a cotter pin, which holds the steering shaft at the proper height to make the geared nut and the plate stay in the right position to control the steering. On my mower this cotter pin was gone, which I didn't realize until after I put the new bushing on. This actually caused a lot of my problem in the first place, which was the steering being too loose. After I replaced the cotter pin and the bushing, it was back to normal. The old bushing was worn and needed to be replaced anyway so I killed 2 birds with one stone on this job.
