288 movement limiters

[Farmer_Nate]

My saw has a screw loose. Bucking spikes are wagging and wobbling. I am going to tighten everything up, but in my investigation I found "movement limiters" sold for certain 288s. They look like round black rubber cylinders. Where do they go and what are they for? I don't see them on the 288 parts list for my saw. I assume they go in the round holes near the bottom in the front?

Depends if your saw came with 7 AV's, 6 AV's or 4 AV's from the factory- if it only came fitted with 4 then these make it up to 6 and make the tank to case mounting a bit firmer for the pro user.

Pro user...like me, ha ha

I think mine only has the two at the top and the large spring in the front.
