Meritor Inc has introduced a universal knuckle for use with its non-drive front steer axles, giving global customers a new solution to outfit drum or air disc brakes.
Built on Meritor’s history of durable knuckles, the universal knuckle front steer axle has one service part instead of the previous two knuckles on each axle. Service parts are no longer dependent on brake types, reducing inventory needed.
The new component offers higher payload capacity, which increases productivity, and eliminates the need for a heavier and more expensive 13,200-pound axle.
Meritor reinforces its commitment to customer support through Meritor DriveForce, the company’s North American sales and service organization, and the OnTrac technical support center. Collectively staffed by more than 150 dedicated professionals, these teams assist commercial vehicle customers before, during, and after the sale.
