583670401 M123811 5920H 9040HR 9040N 5321249 Front Wheel bushings Kit Compatible with Craftsman Riding Mower T GT LT YTS 971 Series, Husqvarna YTA18542 YTA-18542 YTH-22V46 Riding Lawn Mower

What It Is

This is a four-piece front wheel bushing kit designed to replace worn-out plastic bushings in the front axle of select Craftsman and Husqvarna riding mowers. The bushings reduce friction between the wheel hub and axle spindle, preventing wobble and uneven tire wear on lawn tractors, garden tractors, and zero-turn models.

What to check: Measure your front wheel axle diameter (typically 5/8” or 3/4”) and bushing length (usually 1.5”). Ensure your mower uses a pin-style axle, not a bolt-on wheel. If your mower has a grease fitting on the spindle, these bushings are likely compatible. For zero-turn models, verify the bushing ID matches your wheel hub’s inner diameter.

Key Things to Know

• Quality concerns: The 3.0-star rating (based on one review) suggests fitment may be inconsistent. Some users report bushings are slightly undersized, requiring sanding or filing for a snug fit.
• Installation difficulty: Easy—remove the wheel, slide out old bushings, press in new ones. No special tools needed, but a rubber mallet helps. Expect 15–30 minutes per side.
• Common gotcha: These are plastic bushings, not bronze or oil-impregnated. They wear faster if used on heavy mowers or rough terrain. Check for metal sleeves inside your old bushings—if present, these won’t work.
• Pack contents: Kit includes four bushings (two per wheel). Confirm you’re not missing any when opening.

Should You Buy It
