REAR SUSPENSION LAYOUTS
The rear suspension layouts are provided as a tool to help layout bodies prior to arrival. The applicable dimensions are
shown. Be sure to check the axle spacing that is shown, as alternate spacings may exist and could change some of the
dimensions. The dimensions shown below are the most typical installations, in special cases some hole locations will
move. If you are planning on using the holes shown for your body installation, please confirm with your local KW dealer
that the drawing below will be the installation used on your specific truck. Ensure that proper torque is used to reinstall any
suspension components. see Tables 7-1 and 7-2 on page 7-7.
it would be a good idea in this case to order the frame layout of your chassis along with your truck order. This can be done
on any Kenworth truck, and will be provided 4 weeks ahead of the build schedule.
if there are hole locations that are not detailed please work with your local Kenworth dealer to request that information.
Additionally optional axle spacings are shown in the charts, if you would like details on the frame drilling with optional
spacings, please contact your local Kenworth dealer.
nOTe: Actual axle spacing can depart from nominal due to axle slant requirements. final axle spacing can vary by more
than an inch from nominal in some cases. if precise axle spacing is critical due to body installation or state/local regulatory
requirements please contact Kenworth Applications/technical support for assistance.
