Caltric Steering Spindle Pair for AYP & Husqvarna Lawn Tractors — Left 532403087 & Right 532403088, OEM-fit replacement

Caltric's pair of steering spindles (left 532403087 and right 532403088) replace worn or damaged steering pivots on compatible AYP and Husqvarna lawn tractor models.

This replacement set includes one left spindle and one right spindle engineered to match the form and fit of original equipment for select AYP and Husqvarna mowers. Each spindle is precision-sized to the same dimensions as the factory parts so you can restore steering alignment and handling without major modification. Before ordering, compare the pictures and part numbers on your machine to ensure compatibility.

Which mower models and part numbers are these spindles designed to fit?

These spindles are made for specific AYP and Husqvarna lawn tractors. They correspond to several OEM numbers and model/year combinations, so they suit users replacing the exact factory components.

• Compatible with AYP LT2216 series (check model references and manufacture dates).
• Compatible with Husqvarna CTH224TFI variants (verify the exact model/year on your deck).
• OEM cross-references include Husqvarna 596873601 and 596873701, plus AYP/Husqvarna numeric equivalents.

How do the dimensions and physical details affect installation?

Each spindle in the pair shares the same external measurements so they install symmetrically on left and right sides. That makes swapping both sides straightforward when restoring proper steering geometry or replacing a failed bearing housing.

• Length: 248.9 mm (9.8 in) gives the correct reach to the steering components.
• Width: 116.8 mm (4.6 in) matches mounting footprint for bolt alignment.
• Height: 195.6 mm (7.7 in) ensures correct clearance under the deck.

What comes in the box and what should I check before installation?

The package contains exactly two steering spindles: one left and one right. Prior to installing, inspect the existing assemblies and compare them to the supplied photos and the part numbers to confirm an exact match and avoid returns.

• Package includes one left spindle and one right spindle—no additional hardware unless stated otherwise.
• Compare photos and stamped part numbers on your machine to the product images.
• Check for needed bearings, seals, or bolts that may not be included and replace as required.

Can I expect factory-fit performance and what tools are typically required?

These replacement spindles are manufactured to OEM-equivalent dimensions for a close fit; many users regain original steering feel after correct installation. Basic mechanic tools are usually sufficient, but service manuals for specific mower models will list torque values and disassembly steps.

• Designed to match original steering geometry for predictable handling.
• Installation typically requires wrenches, sockets, a jack or lift, and possibly a bearing press for hub components.
• Refer to the mower’s service guide for torque specs and step-by-step removal/installation.

Who is this for: This spindle set is intended for homeowners, lawn-care technicians, and small-engine mechanics who need an exact replacement for left and right steering spindles on select AYP and Husqvarna tractors. If your steering shows play, uneven tire wear, or damaged spindle housings, and your model matches the listed part numbers, this pair restores the original mounting geometry and helps return your tractor to stable steering performance.
