The Genie 33223A.S is a genuine OEM drive shaft bushing for select Genie residential garage door openers including AC Chain Drive, AC Chain Glide, and Aladdin models. The bushing supports and centers the drive shaft within the gearbox, reducing radial wear and ensuring smooth shaft rotation. It is part of the 4-piece drive shaft sub-assembly alongside the thrust washer (GE-27089A.S), the drive shaft (GE-27098A03.S), and the retaining ring (GE-24311B17.S). Replacing worn bushings restores proper shaft alignment and reduces noise from the drivetrain. Confirm compatibility with your specific model before ordering.
