2.11 Operations on the suspensions
!
Changes to the suspensions and to the springs (e.g. addition of leaves, variations in the camber, etc...)
concern the safety of vehicle operation, and therefore must be performed only after IVECO approval.
In general, work on the parabolic suspensions is not permitted. In the case of vehicles equipped with these types of springs, for
special versions or uses and in order to increase suspension rigidity, the application of elastic rubber parts may be authorised. In
exceptional cases and for specific uses, the possibility to permit the addition of supplementary leaves on parabolic springs may be
assessed; the work must be performed by a specialised spring manufacturer and after IVECO approval.
It is not permitted to use a parabolic spring on one side and a semi-elliptical spring on the other side of the same axle.
On vehicles equipped with the”brake system braking corrector” option, changes to the rear suspension require the corrector to
be adjusted (see Chapter 2.15).
!
No changes are permitted to suspensions on vehicles equipped with ESP. See Paragraph 2.15.4.
Transforming the suspension from mechanical to pneumatic
This type of transformation is strongly advised against as it involves components of the suspension and chassis anchoring parts
that are essential to the vehicle’s active safety.
Any company that still intends to carry out this work must provide IVECO with detailed documentation in order to obtain technical
approval.
If non-original components are used, please note that possible approval is issued based on an exclusively design-related evaluation
of their characteristics and without carrying out specific tests, unlike what is done when original equipment components are used.
Therefore, for this particular type of transformation, IVECO considers itself not liable for anything related to the new component.
Camper 35C, wheelbase 3750 mm or 3950 mm, lightened chassis
Subject to IVECO approval, adjustments may be made to the original mechanical suspension by adopting additional, suitably sized
bellows.
Changes to the pneumatic suspension (store van version)
Subject to IVECO approval, adjustments may be made to the original pneumatic suspension.
