    Daimler has similar suspension here called tuff Trac I believe. Volvo NA uses similar suspension on vocational trucks and starting to put them Macks. Nothing like wrestling Mack Camelback springs around!

    can you explain this

    there are no leaf springs anymore for 20years.

    this is more comfortable, lighter empty better traction, last twice longer, cost twice more to replace.
    available from 44k, 57.3k in few versions, 66.2k, 70.5k, 79.4k

    Trunnion is pivot point/where springs attach to. Camelback was bronze or rubber in lighter set up.
