Question:
The front right wheel on my Husqvarna LGT2654 started wobbling.I want to replace whatever washers etc are needed. The schematic on the repair manual,p 12, shows 2 #13 washers, 1 #52 washer, and a ring clip. But, I saw another schematic on p 18 that shows a bearing flange for the front wheel. When I took it apart there was no bearing flange, and I'm wondering which schematic is correct? Should I order a bearing flange? This should be a simple repair, but I can't find any info on it. (I'm trying to avoid taking the other side apart to check because it looks in such good shape I hate to mess with it.)
Answer
Washers are not going to cause wobbling; just sliding end play on the spindle shaft.
You will need two bearing flange bushings; one inside and one outside, both are the same. They are part of the center hub of the front and need to driven out in order to replace them and new driven back in as long you drive them in straight. If the bushings are already missing then you will probably need a new wheel. I would also check the front spindle shaft for wear too, If badly worn it needs replacing as it will only destroy the new bushings in short order.
