Use part number 03-1403-16 when ordering Screw for a repair—especially when the symptom points to this section of the machine. Hardware wear is often visible: elongated holes, stripped threads, or parts that won’t stay tight. If the machine is showing loose parts, inspect this area for looseness, rubbing marks, mineral buildup, or secondary damage to nearby parts. If the fault changes with vibration or after moving panels, look for borderline fitment, loose connectors, or wear marks around the installation area. Use part number 03-1403-16 as the primary identifier, compare the replacement to the original, and install with careful alignment and routing. Replacing a worn part early can prevent secondary damage to nearby components. Recheck fasteners after a short run-in period; vibration can loosen hardware if it isn’t seated correctly. Take a photo before disassembly so you can confirm orientation and fastener locations during reassembly.
