Springfield Bushing f/2-3/8″ Swivel

The Springfield Bushing f/2-3/8″ Swivel is a direct replacement and service component engineered for marine and automotive pedestal systems, specifically designed to restore full articulation and smooth operation to swivel-based seat mounts and air-ride pedestals. As a seasoned mechanic, you'll recognize this as the kind of wear item that silently fails under rotational stress—eventually limiting seat adjustment freedom and creating binding during pivot movements. This bushing addresses that degradation, restoring the original design intent of Trac-Lock™ seat mount assemblies across commercial vehicles, work trucks, and marine applications.

The 2-3/8″ diameter specification matches the swivel post geometry of Springfield Marine's modular pedestal lineup, ensuring OEM fit and compliance with original equipment tolerances. Bushings function as both a wear surface and a load-bearing interface—they absorb repeated torsional and lateral loads that would otherwise accelerate wear on the underlying swivel mechanism. The design allows the pedestal to maintain smooth 360-degree rotation while distributing seating pressure evenly across the mounting footprint. Replacement is straightforward: the bushing compresses slightly during installation, then expands into a secure, non-slip fit that eliminates wobble and restores factory-specification pivot smoothness.

Fleet mechanics and marine technicians benefit most from keeping this bushing in stock—worn pedestals are a common complaint on high-mileage work vehicles where drivers adjust seating position frequently. The Springfield Bushing f/2-3/8″ Swivel is backward-compatible with existing Trac-Lock installations and backed by a 5-year limited warranty, making it a cost-effective preventive maintenance item. Installation requires no special tools beyond a socket set and takes minutes per pedestal. This bushing is essential for anyone restoring seat functionality in commercial truck seats, marine helm chairs, or industrial equipment.
