    Has anyone rebushed, or redone a Neway ARD-238 suspension lately? I’ve tried to order parts, the place that I spoke to told me parts May be specific to my Western star no matter what the model was. This suspension looks exactly like any old Neway I’ve seen, so not sure if this mans info was current or correct. If anyone has been around 1 lately I’d appreciate any input. Thanks!

    Truck was struck by lightning. The man who bought it out of CA put a lot of love into it. Really sad deal honestly. I plan on using most of the parts besides the Big Cam Cummins.

    WOW those trucks look great I would love to see what the inside looks like. I have one as well that used to be a road truck. Someone else made mine into a dump truck and its been a great truck until someone decided to pull out in front of me. It has taken me a while to find all my parts to put it back on the road. you can replace and find all them bushing easy how ever the medal parts take a while.

I may have 1 made eventually, and I have new burgundy for the cab and sleeper.

    Don't care what anyone else says, those old pre-Daimler Stars are the bomb.

    To answer your original question here is some info you will need for your suspension

    Pivot bushing kit 339-195 Maint. Pack

    Axle to beam bushing kit 339-178 Maint. Pack

    And bushings for the rear at the air back there are tow different ones depending on length this is for the 5 1/4"
    339-180 Maint. Pack

    If you have the 5 3/4"
    334-109 Adapter Kit

    It took me a weekend to replace all the bushing on mine definitely made a difference on ride quality.
