I'm having difficulty locating a parts breakdown for this AD. I'm working on an Arrow that previously complied with this AD by replacing the main gear side brace assembly on both sides. As compliance of the AD a 'new style bracket' was installed, and it has the larger 5/8" diam 'pivot stud' mounted in the bracket using a one-piece bronze bushing. The old-style bracket assy used a smaller pivot stud and the bushings were two pieces; the AD had you re-size the bushings in the old style bracket to install the new larger pivot stud, OR you could install a new bracket with the larger stud. There was no specific mention of a 'one piece bushing' in the AD, but apparently the new style bracket incorporated a larger diameter one-piece bushing. The Piper parts catalog doesn't show a breakdown to the bushing/pivot stud level, only to the bracket assembly level.

Problem is, I'm trying to replace a worn one-piece bushing in this 'new style assy', but I can't determine the p/n of this bushing. I've emailed Piper customer service but no reply (yet.. they are usually pretty good about getting back).

Anyone know the p/n of this larger one-piece bushing?
