DESCRIPTION
Numbers in parentheses refer to Fig. 1.
Each axle is coupled to the chassis by three rubber
bushed control links (17) which provide longitudinal
location and control torque reactions. Lateral location
is by means of two panhard rods (18) fitted with
spherical bearings (19). The centre and rear axles are
linked by longitudinal equaliser beams (6) which pivot
on either side of the chassis.
Loads acting on the axles are balanced by equaliser
beams (6), with bonded rubber/metal laminated
interleaf mounts (16) between the axles and beam
ends providing the cushioning medium.
Lubrication of bushings (7) in equaliser beams (6) and
spherical bearings (19) in panhard rods (18) is through
lube fittings (13). Control links (17) are rubber bushed
and do not require any lubrication.
REMOVAL
Numbers in parentheses refer to Fig. 1.
WARNING
To prevent personal injury and property
damage, be sure wheel blocks, blocking
materials and lifting equipment are properly
secured and of adequate capacity to do the job
safely.
