Ariens 5500028 Polyliner Snap-in Bushing 0.50 Inch

Product Description

The ARIENS 5500028 is a 0.50-inch polyliner snap-in bushing designed to provide a low-friction bearing surface in rotating or sliding shaft applications on Ariens outdoor power equipment. Polyliner bushings use a self-lubricating polymer liner bonded inside a housing to reduce wear between metal components without requiring grease fittings or frequent maintenance. The snap-in design allows the bushing to seat securely into a machined bore without fasteners, simplifying installation and replacement in the field. This type of component is typically installed by equipment technicians and small-engine mechanics during drivetrain or deck repairs.

This bushing is suited for use in Ariens lawn and garden equipment where a 0.50-inch shaft diameter bushing is specified. Common applications include wheel hubs, spindle assemblies, linkage pivot points, and other locations where a shaft passes through a fixed housing. It is an OEM Ariens replacement part intended to restore equipment to factory operating condition.

Key Features

• 0.50-inch inner diameter fits standard half-inch shafts
• Polyliner construction provides a self-lubricating bearing surface
• Snap-in retention eliminates the need for press-fit tools or fasteners
• OEM Ariens part ensures dimensional accuracy for direct replacement
• Suitable for drivetrain, deck, and linkage pivot applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement bushing for Ariens lawn and garden power equipment requiring a 0.50-inch polyliner snap-in bushing at the specified location.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a small-engine or outdoor power equipment technician. Disengage all power, remove the ignition key, and allow all moving parts to come to a complete stop before servicing. Inspect the receiving bore for wear or damage before seating the new bushing. Snap-in bushings should seat fully and flush with the bore face; do not force the bushing with excessive impact that could crack the liner or deform the housing.
