Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CR 73831 bushing and where is it used?
A: CR 73831 is a Crown OEM bushing component used in manual pallet jack assemblies. Bushings serve as bearing surfaces between shaft and lever arm components, reducing friction and play. This part is typically installed in steering linkage or hydraulic arm pivot points. Consult your equipment manual to identify the exact location and function on your specific jack model.
Q: What material is CR 73831 made from?
A: CR 73831 is manufactured as a precision-engineered bushing component. Crown bushing parts are typically made from thermoplastic or bronze-impregnated polymer materials selected for low-friction operation, durability, and corrosion resistance. The exact material and specification can be confirmed by requesting the full technical datasheet from our technical team.
Q: How many CR 73831 bushings does a pallet jack need?
A: The quantity of CR 73831 required depends on your jack model and configuration. Most manual pallet jacks require one bushing per pivot point, but some designs use multiple bushings in parallel. Check your equipment manual or the original parts diagram to confirm quantity needed. Contact our technical team with your jack model number if you cannot locate this information.
Q: When should CR 73831 be replaced?
A: Replace CR 73831 if the jack exhibits excessive play in the steering mechanism, wobbling in the lift arm, or binding during normal operation. Worn bushings typically cause visible lateral movement when you grasp the tiller or load handles and try to move them side-to-side. If movement exceeds 0.125 inch, replacement is recommended to restore steering precision and load control.
Q: Is CR 73831 compatible with other pallet jack brands?
A: CR 73831 is a Crown OEM part optimized for Crown pallet jack specifications. While other manual jack brands (Toyota, Raymond, Yale) use similar bushing designs, they have different part numbers and may have different bore diameters or lengths. Do not substitute without verifying dimensions and bore specifications match your equipment. Contact us with your jack model for compatible alternatives.
