Description

Overview

Fruehauf bogie taper bush suspension rocker is a load-sharing equaliser used in mechanical trailer spring suspension. As the suspension moves, the rocker transfers load between axles and helps keep the bogie working evenly across the spring group. When the pivot area wears or the rocker loosens in service, axle movement can go out of balance, so the correct part needs to be matched before rebuild work begins.

Features

• Suits 76 spring mechanical suspension layouts
• Dimensional guide of A 315mm, B 465mm and C 95mm for part matching
• Taper bush pivot format for Fruehauf bogie suspension setups
• Used on older Fruehauf F2 and Propar-style 4′ tandem and 8′ tri-axle layouts

Specifications and Materials

This Fruehauf bogie taper bush suspension rocker suits 76 spring suspension layouts and uses the dimensional guide A 315mm, B 465mm and C 95mm. It uses a taper bush pivot arrangement, so the bush style and the centre hanger width both need to match the removed part. Part number: SP1165.

Compatibility and Fitment

Before ordering, match the spring width, rocker shape, bush style and guide dimensions against the part removed from the trailer. This cross-reference listing means this part is a suitable replacement for the part numbers and applications shown. Some changes in installation may be required.

Compliance and Safety

Inspect the centre hanger, bushes and pin at the same time, because taper-bush wear can mimic rocker wear and can shift load across the bogie. If the spring width, pivot setup or guide measurements do not match the removed part, stop and recheck before fitting this rocker.

Trailer Applications

Fruehauf bogie taper bush suspension rocker is used in mechanical trailer suspension on older Fruehauf F2 and Propar-style layouts, especially where the rocker shares load between axles in 4′ tandem and 8′ tri-axle configurations. It is relevant during suspension rebuilds, hanger repairs and equaliser change-outs, because worn rockers can contribute to uneven suspension movement across the bogie.
