4 Front hanger brackets

4.1 General

General

The front connecting pieces welded onto the vehicle
chassis are connected to the fi rst axle of the suspension
unit by means of connecting rods, thus conveying all the
tracking, braking and acceleration forces from the axle
into the vehicle chassis.
Adjustable connecting rods are fitted on one side to
ensure easy tracking of the vehicle.

Suspension axles can be quickly aligned through
VB ECO Cargo hanger brackets with integrated wheel
alignment:
Production tolerances on the vehicle can be equalised or
wheelbases corrected (axle tracking), see also installation
information (04.00.547110).

Sliders
The ends of the leaf spring are slide-mounted in the
connecting pieces by means of screwed-in sliders or
welded-in retainers made of hardened steel alloy.

In this context it should be ensured that the sliding points
are always well greased.
Thick-walled lateral wear plates ensure precise guidance
of the spring ends in the connecting pieces.
Note the correct position of the retainers when replacing
them (see also equalising beams, page 41 and rear
hanger brackets, page 56) !
