Upgrade & Restore Your Tire Changer's Locking Grip

The 8182371 Wave Spring Washer is a high-tension, precision component engineered to maintain maximum vertical rigidity on professional tire changers. Over time, original wave washers flatten, lose their spring tension, or crack under repeated stress. This degradation leads to slippage in your locking tower, causing the mount/demount head to drift upward or flex when mounting low-profile or stiff-bead tires.

Installing a fresh, factory-spec wave washer restores optimal axial tension, ensuring a tight, unyielding grip on the vertical slide shaft during heavy-duty operations.

Key Features & Specifications

  • Precise Fitment: 1-5/8" nominal diameter.
  • Premium Spring Steel: Built to withstand repeated high-pressure load compression without settling or flattening.
  • Exact Shaft Location: Installed directly on the Vertical Slide Shaft on the swing arm/locking mast assembly, positioned perfectly between the vertical slide lock plate and the 1-5/8" retaining snap ring (Part # 8181095).

Frequently Bought Together / Related Parts

🔧 Pro Installer / TSB Diagnostic Tip:

If your vertical slide is slipping or drifting upward during tire mounting, the factory service manual notes that the lock cylinder should be checked for an active locking stroke of 7/16" to 5/8". If the stroke is correct but slippage continues, the vertical lock plate and this 1-5/8" wave washer are likely worn or flattened and should be replaced together to restore full holding power.
