I think every 44 camelback I have ever had has had the light weight hop, is it an automatic power divider or air shift? does it have the shocks on the front axle? I know an auto pwr divider can pop in and out in a turn when the axles are turning at different speds and that leads to the hop when empty, the shocks on the front of one of mine stopped it almost completely thats why I was looking for the numbers again this truck has auto pwr divider and its hopping in turns empty so I want em on it.
My mack the ch has the 44 camel backs withe the bronze busings and i notice when empty like turn a hard turn like getting on the interstate it feels like it hops in the rear in when turn hard either way, now i checked the travel on the rearends when i had it loaded by backing up and turning it hard to the left, now in my experince this is the best way to check for bushing trouble get it loaded and tirn it hard to the right and stop and get out and see how much the axles walk out, now i counldn't tell that it had any at all, why does it feel like it hops in the rear when empty
#Rubber shooting blocks drivers
Well there you go drivers complain about everthing, and if they are nothing to complain about they can come up with something. If you are getting a lot of deflection with rubber block you may need to swap the axle bushings also they are also available in urethane it lasts twice as long as the rubber and again tightens it up considerably. The Hendrickson really depends on which type if its the one with the single big round rubber block look at it when its loaded if you can see cracks more than a hairline anywhere its shot, the compression will be more also good rule for rubber block Hendrickson and chalmers is to swap em out every 5-10 years depending on use, for Dump truck I would go 5 you can tell a huge difference in stability afterwards. Have you replaced the saddle bushings and thrust plates on the axles in the Mack? there are polyurethane bushings to replace the rubber for the axles and the centerbeam on the Mack that make it comperable to the bronze bushing stability and wear. Sounds like theyre both wore out the camelback shouldnt move side to side more than maybe an inch from front to rear axle with all rubber bushings, with bronze in the centerbeam it shouldnt move more than the sidewalls deflect.
