Correction: The steering rod and pinion gear are one piece for this model, and the flange bearing (not bushing) was definitely worn! The rod is splined on the steering wheel side.

Part numbers 941-04124 for the flange bearing and 738-05078 for the steering rod. I bought the entire assembly together for 31.99 on Amazon complete with washer and screw.

To replace the rod, you'll need to remove the steering wheel by popping the center cover off with a screwdriver or pick, then removing the bolt with 1/2" head. Then, move the fuel tank out of your way (don't disconnect any hoses), remove one side of torque screws that attach the fuel tank bracket to the side, and remove the 4 bolts of the bracket that holds the rod in place (and the gear selector). Tilt the bracket and slide the rod out beside the engine. Reinstall in reverse. Be sure the new flange bearing is seated properly before installing the washer and screw in the bottom of the rod.
