I need some help identifying the part numbers for the 2 bushings for the steering fork that install in the transom sheild. I have tried #'s 872362 and 872363 but they are not the correct bushings. They have a raised bump in the lip and tapered ends and the housing and current bushings do not. The steering arm will not fit between them.
The transom shield looks exactly like the one listed for the AQ271A with the power steering cooler and trim set up.

I have a 1986 AQ271A with a DP290A
The transom shield part number is 867949

Are there other bushings out there?
 
Later transom shields started incorporating the bumps as to prevent the bushings from spinning in the collar of the shield. The receiving bores accommodate the bumps.
Older style, we glued or epoxied them in place.

Yes.... there are two bushing styles...... one with no bump, one with bumps.
I believe that the bumps can be filed away if you need to.

Outer diameter is same on top/lower bushings..... ID changes since the Collar Steering Fork offers two diameters.
Larger ID bottom..... Smaller ID top!

Hope that helps!

Thanks
Just found a service bulletin with the part #'s. There are 2 different sets of bushings and 2 different seal rings based upon the bushing type.

I appreciate all of the help that this forum has given over the last few months
Thanks all
