Parts Desk Insights
This bushing is a common service item on DP-series drives that see regular use or have been in service for several seasons. Customers often come in after noticing vague or loose steering — and this bushing is frequently the culprit. It's worth inspecting the surrounding pivot surfaces and related steering hardware at the same time, since worn bushings often indicate the assembly has been running with play for a while. Matching by serial number is the most reliable way to avoid a repeat visit.
