Lmackattack Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 on My 77' RS700L with 34k mack camelback. It did not have the steel spacers inside the aluminum caps when I pulled them off. The few other 34k I have worked on also did not have them. Everyone is telling me they should have it but I think its only used on heavier axles? whats the story with these? #11 in this photo.

terry Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I believe them spacers were only used on the steel caps, they probably would chew up an aluminum cap. terry Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68565-34k-camelback-saddle-cap-insulator-spacers/#findComment-481843 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 As Terry said. And I doubt they used on anything lighter than 44000.

Joey Mack Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I have taken camelbacks apart and there weren't any "Twinkies" in the boxes, On some I have added them the repair. I'm with Terry on this one.. I also hadnt gotten a complaint after adding the "Twinkies" to springs that didnt have them..Jojo Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68565-34k-camelback-saddle-cap-insulator-spacers/#findComment-481869 Share on other sites More sharing options...
