Suspension for new 38,000-lb capacity truck tandem was designed for lowest possible suspension weight, by North American Rockwell Corp; four taper-leaf springs, each assembly consisting of two leaves, are arranged to provide two-stage spring action; equalization of load between axles is obtained through long equalizer pivoted at center; load is distributed along truck frame at six mounting points; acceleration and braking forces are transmitted through torque eye leaves; rubber bushings estimate need for lubrication at pivot points.
