Claim 0:
1. A compressor comprising:
a shell;
a bearing housing supported within the shell, the bearing housing including a central body and a plurality of arms extending radially outwardly from the central body, each of the arms having a first aperture;
an orbiting scroll supported on the bearing housing;
a non-orbiting scroll meshingly engaged with the orbiting scroll and including a plurality of second apertures, each second aperture receiving a bushing defining a first longitudinal axis and a fastener defining a second longitudinal axis, the fastener extending through the bushing and into a corresponding one of the first apertures in the bearing housing to rotatably secure the non-orbiting scroll relative to the bearing housing; and
a spacer disposed radially between the bushing and the fastener of each second aperture and configured to engage one of the bushing and the fastener to restrict radial misalignment between the first longitudinal axis of the bushing and the second longitudinal axis of the fastener,
wherein a clearance gap is disposed radially between an inner diametrical surface of the bushing and a shaft of the fastener,
wherein the spacer is disposed within the clearance gap, and
wherein the spacer and the clearance gap allow relative radial movement between the bushing and the fastener.
