NOTE: The term “Tandem Split” refers to
when there is a difference between the
Forward axle and Rear axle of the Tandem
or Tridem axle set when the Tandem or
Tridem axle set part number is used. The
value to the left of the “/” references the
Forward axle, and the number to the right
of the “/” references the Rear axle. For
information related to the Middle axle of a
Tridem axle set part number, refer to the
Bills of Material.
