Air
Springs
|
|
|
Choosing
an air spring other than the original can alter the performance of
a suspension. Variations in internal bumpers and flexmember bias
can affect how much weight is carried by a given amount of air,
which could mean a front axle in a tandem weighs out differently
from the rear. That's why it's important to spec only genuine
Hendrickson air springs. |

Torque
Rods
|
|
|
Heavy-duty
transverse rods provide lateral support for Hendrickson vocational
suspensions, by transmitting lateral loads directly into the
frame, instead of through the suspension. This keeps the axle
centered laterally and controls axle walkout during cornering.
Furthermore, the design allows for extended bushing life. Rugged
upper longitudinal torque rods help maintain optimum driveline
angles by absorbing axle braking and driving torque. This
ultimately reduces vibration and helps prolong the life of
driveline components. |

Shocks
|
|
|
Hendrickson
selects shocks with specific strokes, seal designs, bore
diameters, and dampening characteristics which enhance the
performance of the other components and minimise the stress
absorbed by the trailer and suspensions. Shocks help limit the
downward travel of a trailer air suspension. Ensure optimum
suspension performance by replacing with original equipment
shocks. |

Frame
& Spring Hangers
|
|
|
High
strength steel hangers are engineered for maximum durability in
the most severe applications. Imitation hangers may fit some
suspensions, but they will not have the material enhancements and
manufacturing expertise that Hendrickson brings to every component
they make. Faulty hangers can endanger the suspension, the load,
and the driver, so choose only Hendrickson Genuine Parts. |

Ride
Height Control Valves
|
|
|
Hendrickson's
zero delay minimum dead band height control valve is integral to
the EDGE System for HAS Air Suspensions. The valve offers
consistent, repeatable operation for precise ride height control,
maintaining proper driveline angles to prevent suspension-related
driveline vibration. Only Hendrickson's ride height control valve
been designed into the system from the ground up. |
