bbigrig Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Welcome....I've heard horror stories on these axle mounted boxes. Does the amount of free play get a lot less when the truck is running? When the truck is running is the wheel free play seem within spec? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_martell Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I'm still fairly new to mack, and have never heard of this setup. Do you have any pictures of it. Seems interesting, and I can't find anything online, as I think my googles broken lol Quote Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part....

rsb502 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Yeah the Superliner 1 and Cruise liners had axle mounted steering boxes, all I have seen from the setup is leaking lines and worn out boxes. I much prefer the frame mounted boxes on the Superliner 2 and MH chassis. 1 Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
