following. With relative displacements of sprung and non

sprung parts of the truck,
the fluid contained in the shock absorber flows over from one space to the other
through small holes, so hindering the vertical movement of the rod and damping the
truck vibrations.

The rear suspension
is fully articulated, the spring ends enter the eyes of
supporting brackets 8 (Fig. 47).
The springs are secured by U-bolts 2 to beams 25, which rock on walking-
beam axle 21. Onto the axle are pressed brackets 22, through them axle 21 is secured
to walking-beam brackets 20 by bolts 17. Pushing and braking forces are transferred
from the axles to the truck frame via two upper torque rods 7 and four lower ones 9.
Side forces are transferred via the springs.
