B.Interference on Mack Tandem Axles
The current ASA-1 and the forthcoming ASA-2 will not fit on Mack vehicles with the standard Mack 34,000, 38,000, and 44,000 pound tandem axles because of interference. It is important to note that the interference occurs only when the axles move through full travel, and therefore the interference may not be obvious when the installation is made. The interference is in the adjusting arm area.
The ASA-1 and ASA-2 will fit on Mack single axles on trucks and truck tractors.
