6 Rear hanger brackets

6.1 General

VB

The rear hanger brackets welded onto the vehicle chassis
are only connected to the fi nal axle of the suspension unit
by means of the leaf springs, and they only transfer the
tracking forces of the axle to the chassis of the vehicle.

VBT

The rear hanger brackets welded onto the vehicle chassis
are connected to the last axle of the suspension unit by
means of connecting rods, and convey all the tracking,
braking and acceleration forces from the axle into the
vehicle chassis.
Adjustable connecting rods are fi tted on one side (or both)
to ensure easy tracking of the vehicle.

Sliders

The ends of the leaf spring are slide-mounted in the right wrong
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!
