FAQs
How do I know if my steering bush is worn?
If you experience significant play (slack) in the steering wheel or hear clunking noises when turning, the bush is likely degraded.
Does this package include two bushes?
This product listing is for a single steering rod joint bush. If you are refurbishing the entire assembly, you may need to purchase two.
Do I need special tools to install this?
You will need basic hand tools such as wrenches, a socket set, and potentially a pair of pliers for retaining clips or split pins.
Should I lubricate the new bush?
Yes, a light application of marine or lithium-based grease is recommended to reduce friction and prevent moisture build-up.
Is this compatible with all Castelgarden mowers?
No, it is specific to models that utilize this exact joint design. Always verify against your mower's parts diagram and MPN 3270450720.
Troubleshooting
Steering still feels loose after replacement
Check the steering gearbox and tie-rod ends; they may also be worn and in need of replacement.
Bush is difficult to insert into the housing
Ensure the housing is clean of dirt and rust; use a rubber mallet for light pressure rather than forcing it with a metal tool.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install this part, park the mower on a level surface, disconnect the battery for safety, and jack up the front end to access the steering linkages. Remove the retaining pins or bolts holding the steering rod in place, slide out the worn bush, and press in the new 3270450720 component.
Compatibility Note: This part is designed for specific Castelgarden ride-on mower chassis. Verify your mower's serial number against the MPN 3270450720 before installation.
Care Instructions: Keep the area around the steering joints clean and free of heavy grass debris. Applying a small amount of high-quality lithium grease during installation can help extend the life of the new bush and reduce friction.
