Camelback Suspension

[25002500]

I just bought a 1996 Mack CH600 tractor with a camelback suspension.

It looks like the bushing that sists just below the hump of the suspension and between the tandems is worn.

Any idea on part names/numbers, cost and labor hours needed to fix this?

Trunnion bushings.

The rest all depends on whether you've got the bronze greasable bushings or the rubber bushings.

If you give your VIN # to your Mack dealer they should be able to look it up and see just what you've got.

It's heavy work changing trunnion bushings and unless you've got the large jacks, jackstands, 1" impact wrench, cutting torch etc, you're better off having it done at a Mack dealer or a suspension shop.

I done a set on a Granite not too long ago. Its very time consuming and hard work. If you end up doing it yourself, check the t-boxes and insulator pads to make sure they're still good. Don't hurt to go ahead and change them sos you ain't got to tear it back down later.

Thanks for the question and the responses. I was about to ask the same question because my bushings are almost out on my superliner.I didn't know how much trouble it would be to fix.
