Lubricate the equalizer cap-and-tube assembly bush-
ings by applying multipurpose chassis grease at the
grease fitting until old grease is forced out from the
cap-and-tube assembly. See
Hendrickson
The Hendrickson RS Series suspension does not
require lubrication.
For Hendrickson RT2 and RTE2 Series, lubricate the
bronze, ball-indented bushings in the spring eye, as
follows:
1.
Park the vehicle on a level surface, apply the
parking brakes, and chock the front tires.
2.
Raise the rear of the vehicle until the rear wheels
are suspended in the air, then support the ve-
hicle with safety stands. This relieves the load on
the bushings and pins to allow the proper flow of
lubricant around them.
3.
Use a multipurpose chassis grease and lubricate
the bronze, ball-indented bushings in the spring
eyes at the grease fitting. See
. Continue
to lubricate until grease exits both ends of the
bushing. If the pin will not accept lubricant, re-
move the pin and clean the lubrication channels
where lubricant may have hardened. Remove the
safety stands.
Neway
No lubrication is required on Neway rear suspen-
sions.
Reyco
No lubrication is required on Reyco rear suspen-
sions.
