Drive Axle and Trailer Axle Motion Controls

Drive Axle Motion Controls

 

The Drive Axle Motion Controls greatly reduce the bounce and bogey hop of your drive axles.  We do this by installing them directly into the suspension air springs.  By controlling the movement of the air springs, we control the drive axles.  What this means for you is a much smoother ride.  Not only will you feel the difference at highway speeds, but in crossing railroad tracks or pulling a tanker, car hauling, etc.

Our Drive Axle Motion Controls make a major contribution to improving the overall ride of your truck.  They are available for 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch air lines.  (Note: We can build Drive Axle Motion Controls for Kenworth AG100s but not for later versions.)   Price:  $130.00 a pair for 1/4" pipe thread; $170.00 a pair for 3/8" pipe thread; $212.00 a pair for 1/2" pipe thread

 

Trailer Axle Motion Controls

 

If you have an air ride trailer, the Trailer Axle Motion Controls are just one more way to improve your overall ride.  A trailer that is bouncing and swaying less means a truck that is easier to drive. Trailer Motion Controls are available for 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch air lines.  They install directly into the air springs and are self-regulating. They are calibrated at the factory but different control levels are available.  Price:  $130.00 a pair for 1/4" pipe thread; $170.00 a pair for 3/8" pipe thread 

 

 

See Drive Axle Motion Control installation instructions below: 

Step 1

Caution:  Place blocks in front and behind drive axle wheels to prevent truck movement when air spring pressure is released.

 

Step 2

Disconnect air lines.

 

Step 3

Remove air line brass fittings from the running tees.  Remove running tees from top of the drive axle air spring.

 

 

Step 4

Be sure to use adequate sealer on pipe thread and then insert the running tee into the top of the Drive Axle Motion Control.

 

Step 5

Insert assembly into top of drive axle air spring using pipe sealer. The Control must be the first thing next to the air spring.

 

 

Step 6

Re-attach air lines to the running tee.

 

 

Step 7

Air up and check for leaks by spraying with soapy water.

 

Trailer Axle Motion Controls

Trailer Axle Motion Controls are also available for existing trailer air springs for 3/8 inch air line and 1/2 inch air line.
