Truck Shop Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 The Hendrickson northwest field man showed up at our shop today and inspected the broken axles. He admitted it was metal fatigue that caused those axles to break. And those axles that broke were first generation and redesigned twice since. As far the air pressure being to high- 70 psi is not out of range for our application. As far as correct height he looked at two other trucks we have{ same model and wheel base} measured and found nothing wrong with installation. And all of our trucks have factory installed drop axles. So That's- That. Truck Shop Quote One ping only Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49794-drop-axle-failure/page/2/#findComment-372266 Share on other sites More sharing options...
