), trucks use a tapered leaf
spring Hotchkiss Drive Suspension with " Y " type
rubber-bushed shackles at rear hangers. Series P20 -
C-P30 (fig. 7) trucks use a conventional leaf spring with
tension mounted clevis type shackles at the rear hangers.
Shock absorbers are installed between brackets welded
to the axle housing and riveted to the frame, forward of
the axle housing.
Series 30 optional auxiliary springs (fig.

) are at­
tached so as to provide a variable rate and capacity
spring. This design provides a low rate at curb and a
high rate at design; primary function of the auxiliary
spring is to increase vehicle capacity.
The four-point rubber bushed stabilizer shaft (fig. 9) is
standard equipment on the Series P30 vehicles only. The
stabilizer shaft is attached by bolt retained brackets at
two locations on the frame and at "U" bolt retained an­
chor plates at the axle housing.
