Replacement La-Z-Boy Legrest Arms – OEM Scissor Mechanism Set

Restore your La-Z-Boy or Jason recliner with this genuine pair of legrest extension arms, part numbers 12970549-00L (left) and 12970549-00R (right). These scissor-style mechanism arms are critical components of the footrest extension system, responsible for the smooth and stable movement of the legrest.

Made to La-Z-Boy’s exact specifications, these OEM parts are commonly replaced when the originals become bent, worn, or damaged. Suitable for a wide range of manual and electric La-Z-Boy recliner models, they offer a direct fit with no modification required.

Perfect for DIY repairs, these extension arms can be installed using basic tools, making them an easy and cost-effective way to get your chair functioning like new again.

Compatible with La-Z-Boy, Jason & New 3-Position Ratchet Systems

These genuine legrest extension arms are designed to work seamlessly with both La-Z-Boy and Jason recliner chairs, making them a versatile replacement part for a wide range of models. They are fully compatible with both older and newer generation mechanisms, ensuring smooth operation and reliable support during recline. Whether your chair uses a classic steel frame or the updated design, these arms are a direct fit. They are also compatible with the newer style plastic 3-position ratchet systems, allowing for easy integration into modern La-Z-Boy recliner mechanisms. Ideal for restoring functionality to worn or bent components, these extension arms help maintain correct footrest alignment and a comfortable reclining experience. Part numbers are normally laser-etched or ink-stamped on the flat of each arm near the centre pivot. If your link shows 12970549-00L/R you’re safe to order; earlier numbers such as 126xxxxx or 398xxxx indicate an older geometry.

Always follow safe lifting techniques. Unplug the recliner if electric before starting.

4, Release and remove any parts attached to one of the legrest extensions, such as the bushings, screws, and footrest board.

5, Remove the legrest extension arm, taking note of its orientation and positioning for correct installation.

6, Install the new legrest extension arm and reattach all components removed in step 4, ensuring they are properly secured.

7, Repeat steps 4 to 6 for the second legrest extension arm.

8, Carefully return the recliner to its upright resting position using safe lifting techniques.

FAQs

FAQs

Will these legrest extension arms fit my La-Z-Boy recliner?

These arms are used in a wide range of La-Z-Boy recliner models. To confirm compatibility, check your chair's model number (usually found under the footrest or base) and contact our team. We're happy to help match the correct part.

Will this fit my Jason recliner?

Yes they will.

Can I install these myself, or do I need a technician?

These parts can be installed at home using basic tools. If you're confident with DIY repairs, it's a straightforward job. We also provide guidance if needed.

How do I know if my legrest extension arms are bent or damaged?

Common signs include a crooked or uneven footrest, noisy extension, or stiff/restricted movement when reclining. If your footrest no longer extends smoothly, the arms may be bent and need replacing.

Should I replace both the left and right arms or just one?

We strongly recommend replacing both arms at the same time to ensure balanced movement and even wear. They are sold as a matched pair.

Are these genuine La-Z-Boy parts?

Yes, these are genuine OEM La-Z-Boy parts, not aftermarket copies. Manufactured to original specifications for the perfect fit and long-lasting performance.
