How to verify compatibility

Before purchasing, please confirm your OEM part number and gather your unit’s model, spec/type, and serial number. These details help ensure a proper fit, since the part may replace several OEM numbers. If you’re unsure, our product specialists are happy to help—share the year, engine type, and serial information for faster verification. This proactive approach can help minimize returns and align the part with your cart’s configuration.
