Bogie Bracket
(Saddle Bracket)
The Bogie Bracket assembly (saddle bracket) provides
stability for lateral movement and serves as an anchor for
the spring cradle and the parabolic spring assembly. It
helps maintain maximum articulation of the suspension
as well as durability. The Bogie Bracket plays a key role
axially as well as radially.

Spring Cradle
(Cradle Assembly)
The spring cradle (cradle assembly) provides maximum
atriculation for the suspension. The spring cradle
functions axially as well as radially while riding on the
trunnion tube in the Bogie Bracket. The axial play in the
cradle is preset by the depth of the trunnion tube in the
Bogie Bracket (saddle). The spring cradle also contains
two nylon bushings which contain journals for lubricating
the assembly.

Nylon Bushings
The nylon bushings serve as journals for lubrications both
axially and radially. They are essential in maintaining life
and serviceability of the spring cradle and trunnion tube.
The nylon bushings help to simplify servicing the spring
cradle.
Note: Nylon bushings should be replaced in pairs.
