MANUFACTURING COMPANY
Silver Eagle Low-Profile Turntable Suspensions have been in use in our suspension
business since 1936. This turntable front suspension utilizes a pair of cast steel side
supports as main frame members to transfer all the road inputs directly through the axle
into the suspension. Drawbar pulling forces are directly on the axle to ensure accurate
tracking over any road surface. A tubular drawbar with rubber mounted hinge pins and
drawbar eye absorb the shocks of starting and stopping.
The turntable of this low-profile front suspension consists of a cast, high strength steel
hub and spindle. The turntable utilizes a large conical bearing for thrust loads and a ball
bearing for radial loads. The turntable assembly U-bolts directly to the transverse leaf
spring suspension, making a very low-profile mounting height.
The Silver Eagle Low-Profile Front Suspension has dual transverse 2-stage, 7-leaf or 9-
leaf springs, depending on axle track. Springs ends are encapsulated in rubber or
urethane for zero free-play and to absorb road shock. This suspension does not have
spring hangers to wear through or torque arms to rebush and realign.
