Exactly what I needed
My 15 yo son glanced off a tree on my 2012 48" Husqvarna and bent this part so the left front tire bowed to the outside making steering almost impossible. Ordered this part hoping this was the only repair needed and thank goodness it was. Took maybe 20 minutes, fit perfectly and now my lawn tractor drives exactly as it should. And a very good lesson in slowing down for him.
