Husqvarna 2 Pack Genuine 532195227 Steering Bushing Fits AYP Craftsman 195227

What It Is

This is a two-pack of genuine Husqvarna steering bushings (part number 532195227, also cross-referenced as 195227). They serve as the pivot point in the steering assembly of lawn tractors, reducing wear and play in the front axle steering linkage. Designed for AYP (American Yard Products) and Craftsman models, they replace worn bushings to restore tight, responsive steering.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower uses the 532195227 OEM part. This bushing fits a wide range of Husqvarna, Craftsman, and AYP lawn tractors from the 1990s to 2010s, typically with 42-inch to 54-inch decks. Check your model number (e.g., 917.xxxxx for Craftsman) against the manufacturer’s parts diagram—common compatible series include Craftsman LT1000, LT2000, and GT3000, as well as Husqvarna YTH and GTH models. The bushing has a 0.5-inch inner diameter and a 0.75-inch outer diameter, with a length of about 0.75 inches. If your current bushing measures differently, it won’t fit. Avoid generic aftermarket versions unless they explicitly list the same dimensions and OEM number.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Genuine Husqvarna parts use a dense, oil-impregnated bronze material that outlasts many plastic or cheap metal aftermarket bushings. Expect longer service life (2-3 seasons with normal use).
• Installation: Easy DIY job—requires a socket or punch to tap the old bushing out and press the new one in. No special tools, but a hammer and a 1/2-inch socket help. Takes about 15 minutes per side.
• Common Gotcha: Some tractors use two different bushing sizes on the steering axle. Verify both sides use the same 195227 part—if one is larger, you’ll need a separate kit. Also, check for worn steering spindles or tie rod ends; new bushings won’t fix bent components.
• Two-Pack Value: This pack covers both steering pivot points, saving you from buying singles. If you only need one, you’ll have a spare.

Should You Buy It

If your Craftsman or Husqvarna lawn tractor has sloppy steering, wandering, or excessive play at the front wheels, this genuine two-pack is a cheap, reliable fix. It’s ideal for DIYers who want OEM quality without overpaying. Avoid if your steering issue stems from worn spindles or damaged steering shafts—those require separate repairs.
