            2       Axle clampings
    
    
            2.1     General
    
    
    
            BPW Axle clampings
    
    
    
            The axle is connected to the leaf spring using the axle
            connection comprising: spring plates, spring pads,
            segments and U-bolts.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
            In contrast to BPW air suspension systems (clamped),
            only welded axle assembly mountings are used with VB
            suspension units.
            This means that the spring pads are welded to the axle
            beam.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
            Axle alignment
    
            After repairs have been carried out on the axle beam,
            connecting piece, connecting rods etc., the axle
            alignment must be checked and if necessary corrected.
    
            Determine the diagonal dimensions A - B and A - C for
            the centre axle (reference axle) by means of comparative
            measurements (± 2 mm tolerance).
    
            Check and if necessary correct the wheelbase
            dimensions B - D and C - E for the front axle, and B - F
            and C - G for the rear axle (max. tolerance 1 mm).
    
            Measurement is generally carried out by means of the
            hub cap centre point (see illustration).
            It can also be carried out using screwed-in graduated
            tubes.
            Correct any discrepancies by means of the adjustable
            connecting rods or the adjustable hanger brackets
            (VB ECO Cargo).
    
    
            Hub cap centre point in the BPW logo
    
            The triangle (  ) in the BPW logo is positioned centrally
            if there is an ® or ECO stamped below the BPW logo
            (since 1989/1994).
    
                 Important for all welding work !
                 The leaf springs, plastic pipings and other
                 sensitive parts should be protected against
                 sparks and weld splashes during all welding
                 work.
    
                 The earth terminal must under no
                 circumstances be attached to the
                 leaf spring or hub.
