Overview

The TUAIC steering pinion gear and bushing kit is a robust aftermarket replacement designed for select MTD, Cub Cadet, and Troy-Bilt steering assemblies. The metal pinion gear features 11 teeth with center splines, delivering a robust interface within the steering gear and a distinctly solid feel during operation. The accompanying hex bushing helps anchor the shaft with a snug fit, contributing to reliable steering feel during turns and maneuvering on uneven turf.

Instead of juggling multiple OEM parts, this kit brings the essential pieces together in one package. It’s designed to fit a range of common models and helps you restore steering performance without a full parts search. While you should verify exact compatibility with your machine, the kit's configuration reflects a common upgrade path found across several brands.

What’s included

  • 1× metal steering pinion gear (11 teeth) with center splines
  • 1× hex steering bushing (7/8" OD x 5/8" ID, 5/16" thick)

Key features

  • 11-tooth pinion gear engages smoothly with the steering worm for predictable response
