Dana Corp's Commercial Vehicle Systems unit's Dana Spicer E-1462I Integral Arm steer axle is designed to replace the E-1460I 89-mm (3.5") drop standard track steer axle.

Kingpin joint improvements in the E-1462I steer axle add durability required by medium- and heavy-duty applications. The E-1462I maintains the reliability of integral forged knuckles in a lightweight and maneuverable package. A patent-pending kingpin joint includes the use of two drawkeys with spring washer retention in a more rigid beam design. A sealed thrust bearing keeps lubricants in and contaminants out.

Options include wheel bearing adjustment hardware available with either fine- or extra-fine thread, an ABS sensor wire or hydraulic hose attachment point on top of the knuckle, and stop bolt assembly for greater turn angle adjustment range.
