Claim 13:
14. A compressor comprising:
a shell;
a bearing housing fixed within the shell, the bearing housing including a central body and a plurality of arms extending radially outward from the central body, each of the arms having a first aperture;
a non-orbiting scroll including a plurality of second apertures;
an orbiting scroll supported on the bearing housing and meshingly engaged with the non-orbiting scroll;
a plurality of bushings each having a third aperture, each of the second apertures in the non-orbiting scroll receiving one of the bushings;
a plurality of fasteners rotatably securing the non-orbiting scroll relative to the bearing housing, each of the fasteners extending through the third aperture of a corresponding bushing and received in a corresponding one of the first apertures in the bearing housing; and
a plurality of first spacers, each of the first spacers received in the third aperture of a corresponding bushing and configured to engage one of the corresponding bushing and the corresponding fastener to restrict radial misalignment and allow relative radial movement between a first longitudinal axis of the corresponding bushing and a second longitudinal axis of the shaft of the corresponding fastener,
wherein the plurality of first spacers are coiled wires.
