I can't fix your problem, but I do have a BRAND NEW steering assembly
that fits a model 917.258552. Part number is 16702-917. If you need
this part it is appox. $85 + shipping from Sears. I'll sell it to you
for $50 + shippping. I bought a used rider and this came with it. I
sold the mower and not the assembly. Check yours out, it may use the
same part. If you want it, contact me ninebal310@aol.comdelete this. I
will then give you my phone number.
