Peterbilt | Spring Eye Casting Replacement 

Yes and the springs like to break just behind this casting too, good area to check and keep an eye on

I run mono spring tri-axle dump chassis Your in a turn they pop like a gun. snap clean into. I'm only hauling about 20,800 kg +the 20ft container on a 40 ft tri axles dump chassis.

Ray yep , and the air gun seems sluggish a bit, but great work..

Agreed. I have this to do today and dont have a smoke wrench. I actually have a broken leaf spring on the Air Leaf so it will be fun.

I have this same set up, do you know where to place the jack stands? Or is it not necessary.

Just a spacer.

I would imagine they are all dry rotted and about the same age so that would probably be the smart thing. One of mine went bad im just going to replace the set on that axle tho

On this one it was dry rotted and pushing out, might be harder to see if yours are covered in grease. On my truck it started falling apart cause of the dry rot and when I was doing my pre trip and checking the tires with a hammer I noticed the wheel rocking back and forth slightly. Checking all of them now, should replace them before they fall apart obviously lol. I'm just wondering if he had to support the axle or spring to remove the spring eye. it looks like he didn't but then did with a jack stand to put it back on

The Western Star, I had before the Pete had the Hendrickson air ride, was much easier to work on. I could replace entire spring assembly on & off before this one is torn apart.

The bushings were wore out

@@peterbilt898 Ah! Ok...thanks!

​@@peterbilt898 How much will it help the ride of the truck? I have a 1993 Pete 379 that has a floppy ride at any speed even on a perfectly smooth road.
