Makita 965403280 — Genuine Makita rubber vibration damper / buffer mount. A small, durable rubber anti‑vibration element used to isolate the fuel tank and tubular handle assembly from the engine on certain Makita petrol chainsaws. It’s the flexible annular mount shown in Makita parts diagrams.
Fits (examples): Makita DCS430, DCS431, DCS4300i, DCS520, DCS5200 / DCS5200i, where the same anti‑vibration mounts are used. Use one buffer per mounting point (many of these saws use three).
Why this part: if your saw’s handle or fuel tank feels loose, excessive vibration reaches the handle, or the rubber mounts are visibly cracked / flattened, replacing the 965403280 restores the original isolation and fitment. The part is a genuine Makita spare designed to drop into the factory mounting points and accept the original fasteners for a straightforward replacement.
