Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the SU S329-A assembly a complete steer wheel replacement unit?
A: Yes. The SU S329-A includes the poly wheel, bearing, spindle, and mounting bracket pre-assembled. It is designed as a bolt-on replacement for existing steer wheel assemblies. No individual component needs to be installed separately.
Q: What lift truck brands does the SU S329-A fit?
A: The SU S329-A is compatible with Yale MP and BL series, Toyota 8FD/8FG up to 2500 lb capacity, Crown WP, and Hyster J and L series pallet jacks. Verify the existing spindle diameter and mounting bracket configuration match the -A assembly. Different truck years may have different mounting hole spacing.
Q: How do I install the SU S329-A if the steering rod is attached?
A: First, disconnect the tie rod end from the steering arm by removing the cotter pin and nut. Do not force the tie rod; gently tap the arm with a soft hammer if stuck. Remove the bolts securing the old assembly to the truck frame. Slide the new SU S329-A assembly into place, align mounting holes, and install bolts finger-tight first. Reconnect the tie rod end, torque all fasteners, then check steering alignment.
Q: Does the SU S329-A require alignment after installation?
A: Yes. After installing the SU S329-A, perform a basic alignment check. Ensure the truck tracks straight when pushed without load. If pulling to one side, loosen the tie rod end adjustment nut and rotate the rod to shorten or lengthen it. Retighten and retest. A professional alignment is recommended if the truck continues to pull.
Q: What is the warranty on the SU S329-A assembly?
A: The SU S329-A carries a 12-month limited warranty covering manufacturing defects in the wheel, bearing, spindle, and bracket. Damage from impact, overloading, or improper installation is not covered. The warranty is voided if components are disassembled or modified after purchase.
Q: Can the SU S329-A bearing be serviced without replacing the entire assembly?
A: No. The SU S329-A bearing is sealed and pre-greased at the factory. If the bearing fails, the entire assembly must be replaced. Attempting to disassemble or regrease the bearing will damage the seal and spindle, making the assembly unusable. This design reduces long-term maintenance cost.
