Those are not the best pics, but it appears you might have spun the bushings out of the bowl? Not good if thats the case, but it can be fixed. Dont run it anymore till you fix it.

What are we looking at here? I see the bushing in the middle, but whats on the outside of the bushing? Someone may have already tried to fix it once before with a sleeve of some sort and the sleeve came out.
Make sure the shaft where the bushings ride is not beat up. If it is,you need to fix that as well.

It's just a bushing that spun in the bowl. Either it's loose in the bowl or it was buggered on installation. Get a pair of new bushings and check to see how tight it fits. If it is just a little loose, they make bearing locktight or JB Weld will hold it. But if it's loose the best fix is to have a machinist cut it and put a thin bushing in it to bring it back to orginial ID. Budlight

I'm not picking on your spelling. I didn't think you could mispell a "non" word. It just sounded like a word a woman would makeup and use. You know like the phrase " I'm not going shopping", " I'm going shopping shopping" Just a little humor, no offense. BL

Im thinking that the rear bushings walked up to the front. That caused the front bushings to walk out of the front of the bowl. When I pulled the bowl, the front bushings were sitting on the shaft in front of the bowl like the pic. Luckily I had a spare"non split" bolw laying under the table;)

what made you pull it apart? vibration maybe? i'd make sure the shaft is straight.
