The existing sealing systems on the rear suspension cylinders used on the 797F Off-Highway Trucks can fail in extreme environmental applications. The suspension head assembly design has been improved to accommodate the new sealing components. A new sealing system for the rear suspension group is recommended for these extreme environments and includes a new buffer seal assembly. |
