Additional Information

The snowblower hex bushing, part number 587978901, installs between mating components to provide spacing and support while allowing controlled movement where required. Proper bushing placement helps keep shafts and mounted parts aligned during operation.

You might notice excess play in a shaft, uneven wear on nearby components, or parts that no longer stay centered during use. Binding movement, vibration, or noise can also occur when a bushing is worn, damaged, or missing.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The bushing installs near metal brackets and rotating components, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Seat the bushing fully and confirm components move smoothly before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
