Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the purpose of bushing RA 939-353-060 on the Raymond 102XM truck?
A: RA 939-353-060 is an OEM bushing that provides bearing surface support for pivot axles and load wheel axles in the frame and undercarriage assembly. The bushing reduces friction and wear on the axle shafts and frame mounting holes. Without proper bushings, axles wear rapidly and steering becomes difficult or impossible.
Q: How many bushings of this type are needed on a 102XM truck?
A: The 102XM truck uses multiple RA 939-353-060 bushings at different mounting locations in the frame assembly. Exact quantities depend on the specific truck configuration and serial number range. Order based on your actual truck inspection. Common failure occurs at front pivot and rear load wheel mounting points.
Q: What material is this bushing made from?
A: RA 939-353-060 is a precision-machined bronze or bronze-composite bushing designed for wear resistance and low-friction axle support. The material is compatible with steel axle shafts and is self-lubricating. Bronze bushings maintain dimensional stability under the load and stress of pallet truck operation.
Q: What symptoms indicate a bushing needs replacement?
A: Common failure symptoms include excessive play or looseness in steering control, difficulty turning the truck smoothly, grinding or squeaking from the front axle area, and visible wear or damage to the bushing bore. If an axle shaft wobbles when gently rocked by hand, bushings are likely worn or missing.
Q: How long do these bushings last under normal operation?
A: Bushing lifespan is 5 to 10 years depending on load cycles, surface conditions, and maintenance. Rough warehouse surfaces or poorly maintained trucks accelerate bushing wear. Regular inspection of steering responsiveness and axle movement helps identify worn bushings before they cause frame damage or control loss.
Q: Is lubrication required for these bushings?
A: RA 939-353-060 is a self-lubricating bronze bushing requiring minimal external maintenance. However, the axle shaft and surrounding areas should be kept free of dirt and debris. Periodic cleaning of the frame assembly prevents contamination buildup that accelerates bushing wear. Heavy dirt or mud load calls for more frequent inspection.
