Rockwell camelback???


Recommended Posts

Kenworth Here in Australia still sell a 6 rod Suspension. They call It  KW6-60A

But It looks identical to the Rockwell 6 rod in Kevins' Diagram/Brochure.

 

Those Spring packs in the OP look More MACKish to Me than Rockwell...

I inquired about ordering a new KW with "Big Six" suspension  last year and was told it was not available (at least in the states i guess).

As you can see, the Meritor (Rockwell) AC6S was available as recently as 2007 in the Super-Liner and Titan, as well as both Trident configurations (axle forward and axle back).

Six Rod suspension is what I run on my daily driver Brockway.   i don't see any torque rods in the picture and that is what looks so odd to me

Looks like  early 2000"s Mack (Granite?) Camel Back swapped in.  Here is a clear pic of a 2005 Granite with it.  To many similarities IMO  Paul

It's still listed as an Option, here   http://www.kenworth.com.au/   across the entire Model range

 

& is very popular with  Livestock & Heavy haulage Operators....
