Caltric Steering Spindles for Ayp & Husqvarna Lawn Tractors — Left & Right Replacement Pair, Direct-Fit

Caltric's 532403087 (left) and 532403088 (right) steering spindles are direct-fit replacement spindles designed to restore steering control on compatible Ayp and Husqvarna lawn tractors.

These two replacement spindles — one for the left side and one for the right — match the dimensions and mounting points used on specific Ayp and Husqvarna models. Each spindle is built to the same form and function as the original parts listed by part numbers such as 596873601, 532403087, 532194743 (left) and 538691201, 532403088, 532194744 (right). Before ordering, compare the included product pictures and measurements to your existing spindles to confirm compatibility.

What are the physical dimensions and mounting details?

Both the left and right spindles share the same external dimensions, which helps ensure balanced steering geometry and straightforward side-to-side replacement. The listing includes clear length, width, and height measurements so you can verify fitment against the unit being serviced.

How should I confirm these spindles are the correct replacement?

Use a visual and dimensional check before purchasing. Compare the photos provided with your current spindles and measure key dimensions; check mounting hole patterns and spindle orientation against your original parts to avoid surprises.

• Match the product photos to your existing spindles for shape and port locations
• Verify the listed part numbers against OEM references from your mower
• Measure length, width and height to confirm the same external footprint

What comes in the box and what should I expect during installation?

Your shipment contains one left steering spindle and one right steering spindle. These spindles are intended as mechanical replacements; depending on wear they may require bearings, seals, or fasteners from your original assembly or separate hardware kits for a full rebuild.

• Package includes: 1x left steering spindle and 1x right steering spindle
• May require reuse of original bearings and bolts or purchase of additional hardware
• Professional installation recommended if you’re unfamiliar with steering or spindle reassembly
