The 95061-029 is a Piper OEM sleeve-type airframe bushing used as a precision wear interface component in light aircraft structural and control system assemblies. It is designed to be press-fitted into structural lugs, brackets, or pivot joints where a bolt or pin rotates, ensuring smooth motion while preventing direct metal-to-metal contact.

In typical Piper aircraft applications (commonly found across PA-series aircraft such as PA-28, PA-32, PA-34, and PA-44 depending on configuration), this bushing serves as a sacrificial wear surface in oscillating or rotating joints. Its primary role is to maintain alignment, reduce friction, and prevent elongation or damage to the surrounding airframe structure.

The 95061-029 is typically manufactured from bearing-grade bronze alloy or equivalent aviation wear material, selected for its ability to withstand cyclic loading, vibration, and repeated rotational movement. Instead of wearing the structural bracket or bolt, the bushing itself gradually wears and is replaced during scheduled maintenance.

Because it is used in flight and landing-load-bearing mechanical interfaces (depending on installation point), wear or looseness can introduce play into control systems or landing gear linkages. This can affect handling precision, increase vibration, or accelerate wear in adjacent components.
