Husqvarna 532195227 Steering Bushing

It worked, and it fit good. No problems..

Perfect fit & solved my problem.

This really makes a huge difference in the amount of "slop" or movement in the steering shaft of my mower. It is a little bit of a challenge to remove the old one and install the new one, so take your time. I recommend removing the fuel tank to allow open access to shaft bushing. The old one will most likely break the tabs upon removing, but no big deal. Simply remove steering wheel and loosen fuel tank enough to pull it forward and out of your way. Remove the old bushing, take the new one and slide over steering shaft. Make sure the little arrow on the part is facing forward. Place bushing to where the tabs line up with slots and either push down evenly on the sides to get the tabs to lock into position or from the top, a long piece of PVC pipe or reasonable facsimile that will fit over the shaft and put it down onto the bushing and tape into position with a hammer. This will apply equal pressure all the way around the bushing to prevent breaking the tabs. Once it is seated properly, re-set fuel tank and steering wheel. You will be amazed at the difference it makes!!

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 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.

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.

If this item is what you're looking for to replace an older or damaged one, then it is a perfect match.My steering was becoming very loose at the steering wheel, and not the wheels, so I looked for a solution. This item was one option and a quick look showed that it was the issue.After going through the trouble to remove the old one from the shaft, it appeared that it looked like an aged version of the new one, as in it could have been pooped back into place and kept going.As this part was only a few bucks, I swapped it out and kept the old one as a backup. The part does take a bit of effort to get seated in the hole, even when oriented correctly, so have long reach tools or plenty of space to get your hand(s) on it.One video suggested taking off the gas tank for my Craftsman mower, but I found taking the top cowling at the steering column was a lot easier and less likely to damage something important.

Worked good.
