Description
Overview:
The Antivibe Element is a genuine Husqvarna vibration isolator for petrol chainsaws, designed to reduce handle vibration and improve comfort and control during cutting. Built from a tough elastomer bonded to a metal sleeve, it sits between the engine chassis and handle system to absorb oscillation from the power unit. This helps maintain smooth operation, protects surrounding components, and supports accurate cutting. Supplied as a direct replacement for worn or perished mounts, it is engineered for Husqvarna chainsaws including the 242 and 246. Genuine Part, Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): 501835601. Also cross-referenced as 501 83 56-01. Suitable for regular maintenance or a like-for-like swap to restore the saw's original anti-vibration performance.
