The Hendrickson
AR2 gives you a better ride and improved
suspension performance by converting your RT/RTE
suspension into a walking beam air
suspension. |
 |
The air spring
system in AR2 absorbs the load and road
inputs — delivering the preferred combination
of empty-ride and loaded stability for
vocational applications. |
 |
Hendrickson-designed air springs constantly
adjust to changing road and load conditions
to deliver superior ride quality. |
 |
Improved ride
reduces road shock and vibration to the
vehicle for longer service life and fewer
repairs to the cab, chassis and body
equipment. |
 |
Air springs
provide long service life and easy
replacement. |
 |
Bar pin rubber
end bushing extends service life and provides
alignment capability. |
