ThaddeusW Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Does any body know if the six rod suspension out of say a CLR will fit into a series II Superliner???ThanksWhen you say 6 rod I suspect you have the Renault hub reduction axles on the Renault 6 rod suspension. The frames are the same but I guarantee you will have to drill new holes in the Superliner to bolt it on. Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog!

I only have 38's on pedestal So before I take them out to put 44's on eagle claw I thought I would see if the six rod might fit in without to much trouble.Thanks Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/17264-six-rod-suspension/#findComment-70594 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen some Superliners with the factory Renault hub reduction axles. Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog!

spud Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Good luck in the transplant. I have seen some Superliners with the factory Renault hub reduction axles.it does fit and by the way are you sure its not hedrickson 6 rod?it was a option is aus in clr's me personnally i would stay away from the renault/berliet diffs they are major trouble it cheaper and easier to get a chassi cutoff out off a star than too try and do what you want too.8 grand will get you diffs and all suspension components.

So are you saying it's worth while getting the rear end cut from a western star with six rod and putting that in rather than the mack rear end. I like the idea of the x locks as well. Can never have to much traction Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/17264-six-rod-suspension/#findComment-74005 Share on other sites More sharing options...
