2.8 MODIFICATIONS TO THE DRIVELINE
Any modifications to the driveline must be authorised by IVECO.

Figure 13
The maximum inclination X° of the rear axle casing must be less than 5° in relation to the horizontal.
Note
It is strictly forbidden to move the transfer box.
We recommend using original IVECO drivelines; if this is not possible, the use of raw steel pipes with a yield load of at least 420
N/mm
2
(42 kg/mm
2
) may be used.
The universal joints may not be modified.
Any transformation of the driveline or of any of its parts requires thorough dynamic balancing to be carried out on each modified
section.
▶ Given that the driveline is an important part of the vehicle in terms of safety, any modifications
made must meet the requirements of the maximum safety standards. Therefore, modifications
should only be carried out by highly specialised companies, qualified by the Manufacturer of the
driveline.
2.9 WORK ON SUSPENSIONS
▶ Modifications to the suspensions and springs (e.g. addition of leafs, variations in camber, etc...)
affect the driving safety of the vehicle and therefore may only be implemented after obtaining
approval from IVECO.
▶ In the case of interventions that have an impact on the suspension and / or the vehicle align-
ment, the original conditions must be restored at an IVECO Service Centre.
In general, work on parabolic suspensions is not allowed. On vehicles with this type of suspension spring, exception is made for set-
ups or special uses for which, in order to increase suspension rigidity, the application of rubber elastic elements may be authorised.
