Good To Know

Q: Do I need to replace the whole steering assembly? A: No, this shaft is sold on its own so you can replace only the worn or bent part. Reuse your existing hardware and linkage where they are still in good condition.

Q: How do I confirm this shaft matches my machine? A: Compare your model and serial number against the OEM numbers listed in the specs table. Match at least one cross-reference before ordering.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
