July 2005

AR2™ Free Bushing Promotion Extended to Sept. 30
WOODRIDGE, Ill. – Hendrickson extends to Sept. 30 a free bushing offer for fleet managers and owner operators converting RT™ / RTE™ suspensions to air ride with the AR2 ™ conversion kit.

Truckers choosing to upgrade with an AR2 kit will receive two center-beam bushings and four end-beam bushings free, a value worth up to $875.

For more than five years, AR2 has proven it provides haulers with air-ride suspension benefits of a smoother ride and enhanced equipment protection, while maintaining the RT / RTE advantages.

Hendrickson builds the AR2 with heavy-duty components to meet the rigorous demands of rugged applications with features to help reduce vibration, adjust to changing load and road conditions, maintain constant ride height and decrease downtime.

The patented Hendrickson AR2 draws on the heritage of the industry’s original walking-beam air-ride suspension, the AR, introduced in 1957.

The conversion kit includes two trailing arms, shock absorbers, transverse torque rods, height-control valves, air springs and frame hangers. Existing beam assemblies, cross tube and longitudinal torque rods remain from the RT/RTE suspension.

AR2 conversion kits can be installed at service centers and OEM dealerships across North America.
