Why choose the McFarlane Cessna Rudder Pedal Shaft?
The rudder pedal shaft is a small part doing a big job: the pivot point that ties your rudder input and pilot-side braking together, seeing cyclic loading every time you tap a pedal. Worn pin holes, elongated bores, or a fatigued shaft translate directly into sloppy rudder feel and inconsistent braking, exactly when you don't want either. The McFarlane PMA shaft is manufactured to match the OEM part's dimensions and material spec, then heat treated to a higher strength range than the original Cessna part. The result is a direct, drop-in fit with no special tools or rigging changes.

Some shops may prefer to use salvage parts. A used shaft comes with unknown load history, no traceability, and the real possibility of hidden corrosion or fatigue cracking under the plating on a shaft that may already have years of pedal cycles run through. For a structural part tied to both rudder control and braking, a new PMA-approved shaft with documented material traceability is the straightforward choice.
