Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the inner and outer diameter dimensions for the 220017324 bushing?
A: The 220017324 is a precision bushing for manual pallet jack pivot points or axle assemblies. Exact bore diameter, outside diameter, and length determine fitment. Bushings are sized to provide tight tolerance fits with minimal play. Confirm your pallet jack model and assembly location to verify the correct bore size and outer diameter.
Q: Which pallet jack models use the 220017324 bushing?
A: The 220017324 fits manual pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, and similar OEM manufacturers. Bushing location varies by model (fork pivot, pump linkage, wheel bracket). Verify your pallet jack model number and serial range to ensure proper fitment before ordering.
Q: What material is the 220017324 bushing made from?
A: Manual pallet jack bushings are typically self-lubricating materials like bronze, PTFE, or composite polymer. These materials provide low-friction, wear-resistant performance without ongoing lubrication. The 220017324 resists galling and metal-to-metal wear in high-cycle pivot applications. Material choice depends on load and environment.
Q: How long does a bushing typically last before replacement is needed?
A: Under normal warehouse use, bushings last 2 to 4 years depending on daily cycle frequency and maintenance. Early wear symptoms include loose play in the fork tilt or lateral movement that was not present when new, increased friction during manual operation, or visible wear marks on the bushing outer surface. Replace worn bushings to restore control and prevent binding.
Q: Does the 220017324 bushing require lubrication or maintenance?
A: Self-lubricating bushings like the 220017324 require no grease or oil applications. They are factory-impregnated with lubricant and are designed to operate maintenance-free. However, keep the bushing seat clean and free of debris to prevent premature wear. Do not apply external lubricants, as they can attract dirt and accelerate wear.
