    I have the Hendrickson airtek steer on my 07 Century. I wouldn't buy a truck without that now. Also had that on my Cascadia last year when I was driving for a company.

    Rumor always told me they ate steer tires so I was concerned. Turns out, I have bigger issues with drives pushing than with the axle.

    There have been a few comments in the Kenworth form on the air ride steer axle in the thread for the T680.

    I have it and like it. It took about an hour to get use to it, since the steering wheel not as responsive, it took about a month to reach the same speed on the ramps than before, but I enjoy the soft ride. I would buy it again without hesitation.
