The 95061-064 is a Piper OEM sleeve-type aircraft bushing used primarily in the nose landing gear torque link (scissors) assembly. It functions as a precision wear interface between rotating or pivoting structural components, allowing controlled movement around a bolt or pin while preventing direct metal-to-metal contact.

In typical Piper light aircraft (such as PA-28, PA-32, PA-34, and PA-44 families depending on configuration), this bushing is installed in the nose gear scissors linkage where it supports repeated oscillating motion during taxi, takeoff, and landing. Its role is critical in maintaining proper nose wheel alignment and preventing excessive play that could lead to shimmy or instability.

The 95061-064 is typically manufactured from bearing-grade bronze alloy (or similar wear-resistant material) chosen for its low friction properties, high load capacity, and ability to act as a sacrificial wear component. Instead of wearing the structural torque link arms, the bushing gradually wears and can be replaced during maintenance.

Because it is part of the landing gear load path, even small wear can affect steering precision and stability. For this reason, inspection for elongation, scoring, or looseness is part of scheduled maintenance, and replacement requires press-fit installation and precise sizing per Piper maintenance data.
