What's wrong?
The front leaf spring assembly on 2013-2015 Terex Advance Front Discharge Concrete mixer trucks helps carry the weight of the front axle and hold it in the correct position under the chassis. Its rear pin sits in a suspension hanger, and retaining hardware keeps that pin locked in place while the truck steers, brakes, and travels over rough job sites.
On affected trucks, castellated retaining nuts on the front axle leaf spring rear pin and steering system were not secured correctly. The issue traces to incorrect assembly, including missing cotter pins and assembly procedures that did not make the fastening steps clear enough. If the nut loosens, the rear of the front leaf spring can partially separate from the suspension hanger, and the steering linkage can separate.
Owners or drivers can notice a sudden increase in steering "play" when moving from left to right. A slight drop in front suspension ride height on either side is also a warning sign.
Who's affected?
Spans the 2013, 2014, and 2015 model years, all tied to the same front suspension leaf spring assembly.
