6A.1.1 STEERING AXLE
The steering axle is of steel-welded construction with a box-shaped cross section, incorporating
a power cylinder inside it. See Figures 6A.1 and 6A.3. The power cylinder is housed in the axle to
protect it from being damaged by obstacles on the road surface. The axle is installed onto the truck
frame through a center pin with bushing and cap, and it cradles around this center pin.
