The Multiquip 491723 Upper Steering Shaft Pin is a genuine OEM component designed for Whiteman hydraulic power buggy models including WBH21EPA, WBH-16, WBH-16E, WBH-16F, WBH-16EF, WBH-21EFP, WBH-16EAWD, WBH-16EAWDF, and WBH-21EF. As a direct OEM replacement, part 491723 is produced to the same tolerances and material specifications as the original, ensuring a correct fit within the steering shaft assembly. This pin is a critical retention component in the upper steering column, and using a genuine Multiquip part means no guesswork on dimensional compatibility with surrounding hardware. If you're servicing a Whiteman power buggy, verifying you have the correct part number — 491723 — before installation keeps the job moving without delays.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Material Grade — Manufactured to Multiquip's original hardness and shear-strength specifications for a retention pin operating under steering load cycles.
- Drop-In Fitment for Whiteman WBH Series — Matches the original bore diameter and pin geometry of the upper steering shaft, seating without modification across all listed WBH configurations.
- Broad WBH Series Coverage — Compatible with WBH21EPA, WBH-16, WBH-16E, WBH-16F, WBH-16EF, WBH-21EFP, WBH-16EAWD, WBH-16EAWDF, and WBH-21EF models.
- Steering Integrity Under Load — A correctly fitted upper steering shaft pin maintains the mechanical connection between operator input and the buggy's steering linkage, keeping directional control positive during loaded operation.
- Safety-Critical Steering Component — Because this pin anchors the upper steering shaft in place, a worn, sheared, or missing pin can result in loss of steering control — making prompt replacement with the correct OEM part essential.
The upper steering shaft pin is a small but structurally important fastener within the power buggy's steering column assembly. It locks the upper steering shaft into its correct position, transferring operator input through the column to the front wheel steering linkage. When this pin wears, shears, or works loose, steering response becomes imprecise or fails entirely, which creates a serious handling hazard — particularly on sloped surfaces or when the buggy is carrying a loaded concrete bucket.
