Is your Craftsman LT2000 riding mower making clunking noises when turning, feeling loose up front, hard to steer, or even getting stuck mid-turn?

In this video, we dive into a full front-end inspection and repair, focusing on the front axle and axle spindle bushings / bearings, which are common failure points on MTD-built riding mowers.

We start by diagnosing the symptoms—excessive play in the wheels, noisy turning, stiff steering, and a general feeling of looseness or wonkiness while driving.

Upon inspection, we discover that the front axle bushings are completely worn, and the axle itself has seen better days.

These worn components can cause grinding noises, sloppy steering, and increased wear on tie rod, drag link, steering gears and spindles if left unaddressed.

This step-by-step repair shows how to:

Inspect the front axle and identify worn bushings
Remove the axle assembly
Replace the worn bushings with new ones
Reinstall the axle and other components

This repair applies to many MTD-manufactured riding mowers, including models from Troy-Bilt, Yard Machines, Huskee, Bolens, Murray, Craftsman, Yard Man and other private label brands.

If your mower uses this common front axle design and your steering feels off or makes noise further up front than the operators station, this repair could be exactly what you need.
