Contact Hendrickson for approval of additional applications.
1. Conversion kit center bushing — if existing RT/RTE suspension includes bronze center bushings, they must be replaced with rubber center bushings. Bronze center bushings are incompatible with transverse torque rods.
2. Installed weight is for 52-inch axle spacing. Conversion kit installed weight includes torque rods, axle brackets and frame brackets. Complete assembly installed weight includes fabricated equalizing beam assembly, cross tube, torque rods, axle brackets and frame brackets. Any comparison to other suspensions should consider all of these components, including axle brackets.
3. Contact Hendrickson for applications that may exceed GVW approval ratings.
4. Site Travel Rating — Ratings are limited to no more than 5% of vehicle operation at speed not to exceed 5 mph. Site travel ratings are consistent with published axle manufacturer’s limitations. Axle and suspension site travel specifications must not be exceeded.
5. Suspension articulation may exceed vehicle’s capability and may be limited by vehicle manufacturer; vehicle manufacturer installed axle stops may restrict suspension’s articulation.
6. AR2 is approved for vehicles equipped with aluminum beams up to a 38K maximum capacity.
