Dana adds two steer axles
Roadranger
The Roadranger Drivetrain System now includes two 8000-pound Dana steer axles, the Dana Spicer D-800F and D-800W. Dana says the new models use improvements in basic steering geometry to help the vehicle handle better and provide an option for wide-track applications.
The D-800F replaces the I-80SG steer axle and maintains the proven kingpin, bushings, bearings, and seals of the I-80SG. The D-800W steer axle features a 1-inch wider beam than the D-800F, providing a wider track for increased manoeuvrability.
The increased kingpin angle improves high turn angle steering returnability, and a reduced scrub radius improves steering stability. Bolted-on kingpin caps ease serviceability and provide for auxiliary attachment. Threaded inner and outer drawkeys also improve serviceability. An over-sized tie-rod assembly improves durability and results in common service parts, the company says.
