The Genie 81727GT Front Axle Wear Pad Shim is a genuine OEM shim designed for Genie S-80 and S-85 telescopic boom lifts. As a direct OEM replacement, this shim is manufactured to the exact dimensional tolerances required for correct wear pad clearance at the front axle, ensuring proper fit without rework or adjustment. Cross-reference part number 81727GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm it is the correct item for your unit before ordering.
Key Features
- Exact OEM Dimensional Tolerancing — Manufactured to Genie's original specification, this shim delivers the precise thickness needed to set correct front axle wear pad clearance.
- Direct OEM Replacement — Sourced directly from Genie, this component installs in place of the original without modification or adaptation.
- Confirmed Fitment for S-Series Booms — Built specifically for Genie S-80 and S-85 telescopic boom lifts; always verify against your serial-number-specific parts manual.
- Restores Proper Axle Wear Pad Function — A correctly shimmed wear pad controls clearance and contact at the front axle. A worn or missing shim allows excess movement, accelerating wear on surrounding components.
- Genuine Genie OEM Part — Backed by Genie's OEM supply chain, this shim is the same component used in original assembly, giving you confidence in long-term durability and fit.
A wear pad shim is a precision spacer that sets the correct clearance between the axle wear pad and its mating surface on the front axle assembly. By controlling this gap, the shim ensures the wear pad contacts and cushions correctly, preventing metal-to-metal contact and managing the load transferred through the axle. When a shim is worn, damaged, or missing, clearances open up, leading to accelerated wear pad and axle component wear, increased play in the front axle, and potential handling issues on the machine. Replacing it with the correct OEM shim restores the designed clearance and protects the surrounding components from premature wear.
