Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What type of bushing is the TO 00591-27309-81?
A: The TO 00591-27309-81 is a standard wear bushing for Toyota electric lift trucks used in steering, lift, or tilt pivot points. It is a bronze or polymer composite designed to reduce friction and wear on the main pivot pins.
Q: How is this bushing different from the HTX version?
A: This bushing is a standard-duty version suited for normal operating conditions. The HTX variant (TO 00591-27275-81) is reinforced for heavy-duty applications. For most standard pallet jack duty, this bushing is the correct choice.
Q: Which Toyota lift truck models use this bushing?
A: This bushing is used on Toyota electric pallet jacks, stand-on riders, and walkie models. Verify your specific model and year to ensure correct fitment. Check your equipment manual for exact bushing part locations and quantities.
Q: What causes bushing wear or failure?
A: Bushings wear faster with heavy loads, dry conditions, excessive debris, or impact strikes. Regular maintenance and keeping pivot points clean will extend bushing life. Worn bushings allow shaft rocking, which damages the pin and accelerates failure.
Q: How often should I inspect or replace this bushing?
A: Inspect bushing wear during routine maintenance every 500 operating hours. Under normal duty, replace every 2000 to 4000 hours. In heavy-use applications or rough environments, shorten inspection intervals to every 300 hours.
