Additional Information

The snowblower pivot bushing, part number 7024620, fits into a pivot joint where two components rotate relative to each other. It helps reduce friction and wear between metal parts while maintaining proper alignment of moving linkages or supports.

If a pivoting control feels stiff, jerky, or noisy during movement, or if you notice excessive play at a joint that should pivot smoothly, the pivot bushing may be worn, flattened, or missing. Loose linkage movement, vibration, or uneven motion can also point to bushing wear.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. Pivot bushings install near moving linkage and metal edges, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Make sure the bushing seats correctly and that the pivot moves freely before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
