Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CR 120126 steering pod and what vehicles does it fit?
A: The CR 120126 is a steering actuator pod designed for Crown WAVE Work Assist vehicles with an 84-inch lift height. It combines the steering motor, control valve, and hydraulic feedback system into one sealed assembly. This pod converts electrical steering input into hydraulic actuation for the front wheels. It is compatible only with Crown WAVE models built from 2012 to 2020.
Q: What is the keyed ignition type on the CR 120126 and can I change it?
A: The keyed ignition means the vehicle requires a physical key to start the motor, as opposed to push-button or proximity start systems. This ignition type is fixed to the CR 120126 and cannot be changed to a different starting method without replacing the entire steering pod assembly. Verify your Crown WAVE model uses keyed ignition before ordering.
Q: Is the CR 120126 steering pod compatible with the CR 120124 traction pod?
A: Yes. Both parts are matched for Crown WAVE 84-inch lift height vehicles. When both are installed together, they work as a complete propulsion and steering system. If you are replacing steering, also verify your traction pod matches the same lift height specification to avoid control system conflicts.
Q: What is the expected service life of the CR 120126 steering pod?
A: Under standard warehouse operation (8 to 10 hours daily), the CR 120126 lasts 5 to 6 years before internal seals or hydraulic circuits require service. Heavy duty continuous operation shortens this to 3 to 4 years. The steering motor is typically the longest-lasting component; hydraulic seals and solenoid valves may require replacement before motor failure.
Q: Can I use the CR 120126 steering pod on Crown Wave models with different lift heights?
A: No. The 84-inch lift height specification is engineered into the steering pod control logic and hydraulic flow rates. Using this pod on 36-inch, 48-inch, or 120-inch Crown WAVE models will cause steering lag, reduced responsiveness, or valve hunting (oscillation). Always match the steering pod to your exact vehicle lift height.
