Teflon Thrust Washers for Steering Knuckles and Front Axle. Installs where steering knuckles makes contact with underneath of axle (load-bearing and friction area), and is centered by the steel bushings/spacers (listed below). Provides easier steering with less effort, especially with a snow plow or front end loader bucket. Each Teflon thrust washer listed below fits various makes and models of garden tractors with 3/4", 7/8" or 1" diameter front vertical spindle shafts. These washers are made of very tough, long wearing and slippery polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and not ordinary nylon or plastic.

Apply automotive grease when installing. Go here for more information: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE): Complete Guide.

I cannot use the US Postal Services' Flat Rate Priority Mail envelopes and boxes to ship outside U.S. territories.
