Hoover Upright Wheel Shaft ...
$11.99
Product details
The rear wheels on many Hoover uprights turn on a separate, replaceable shaft, and part 32541007 is the replacement for that shaft. It carries the full weight of the machine every time it rolls, and it is what actually wears when a wheel starts to wobble.
A bent or oval-worn shaft shows up as uneven rolling, a wheel that leans instead of tracking straight, or a vacuum that suddenly feels like it is fighting you across carpet transitions and door thresholds. Because the shaft sits inside the wheel hub, the wheel itself is usually still fine and gets blamed unfairly; swapping the shaft first is the cheaper and more often correct fix.
This shaft is listed for a long run of Hoover uprights, plus a handful of Oreck and Royal machines. The full list: Hoover U5145900, U5150900, U5154900, U5155900, U5156900, U5402900, U5444900, U5458900, U5458910, U5467900, U5468, U5468900, U5470900, U5471900, U5472900, U5473900, U5481900, U5491900, U5491950, U8171900, U8172900, U8173900, U8174900, U8181900, U8183900, U8185900, U8187900, U8188900, UH30015, UH30030HD, UH30070, UH40080 and UH40110; Oreck UR30075; and Royal CR50005, UR30075 and UR30085.
- Part: 32541007
- Function: rear wheel shaft axle
- Symptom: wheel wobble, uneven rolling, dragging on one side
- Tip: inspect the wheel bearing surface while the shaft is out; a shaft rarely fails alone
The new shaft seats into the wheel mount during reassembly and needs no special tooling. Confirm your model number appears on the list above before ordering, since the list spans three brand names and many production years rather than one machine.
