Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the SU S654-A assembly include and how does it differ from the wheel-only SU S654?
A: The SU S654-A is a complete load wheel assembly. It includes the 5 x 3.625 inch Cushothane XL wheel pre-installed on a bearing hub or axle assembly ready for installation. The wheel-only SU S654 requires separate bearing and installation labor. The SU S654-A saves labor time and ensures proper wheel mounting.
Q: What are the dimensions and specifications of the SU S654-A?
A: The SU S654-A has a 5.000 inch outside diameter and 3.625 inch width (127.00mm x 92.07mm). Inside diameter is 2.188 inches. Bore outside diameter is 2.4384 inches with a 0.67 inch bore depth. Material is Cushothane XL with a 3/8 inch radius tread profile.
Q: Is the SU S654-A a plug-and-play replacement or does it require modification?
A: If your truck is already configured for a 5 x 3.625 inch wheel assembly with matching bearing bores, the SU S654-A is plug-and-play. Unbolt the old assembly, bolt on the new one. If your truck uses a different wheel width (such as 2.875 inches), the assembly does not fit without chassis modification. Always verify bearing spacing and bolt pattern before ordering.
Q: Can I install the SU S654-A wheel assembly myself or do I need technician service?
A: Installation requires basic mechanical skills and tools: a socket wrench, jack, and bearing puller if you are replacing an existing assembly. Lift the truck safely, remove the old assembly bolts, pull the assembly from the axle, install the new SU S654-A, and torque bolts to the truck manufacturers specification (typically 35 to 50 foot-pounds). If you lack tools or experience, use a technician to avoid misalignment.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of the SU S654-A assembly?
A: Under normal warehouse use (8 to 10 hours daily), the SU S654-A typically lasts 12 to 24 months before the wheel requires replacement. The bearing assembly may last longer if properly maintained. Inspect the assembly monthly for cracks, bearing noise, or lateral play. Replace the entire assembly if the bearing develops play or if wheel damage is severe.
Q: What maintenance keeps the SU S654-A assembly performing well?
A: Keep the assembly clean of debris and water. Check wheel bolts monthly and re-torque if loose. Inspect the bearing for play by grasping the wheel and attempting to rock it side-to-side; any movement indicates bearing wear. Do not pressure-wash the bearing area. If the wheel begins to drag or the truck pulls to one side, the bearing may be failing and replacement is necessary.
