AR2™ 40K • 46K
SECTION 2

Product Description
The Hendrickson AR2 offers a better ride and improved suspension performance by converting
your HendricksoneBay logo RT™•RTE™ suspension into a highly engineered and lighter weight walking
beam air suspension. The air spring system in AR2 absorbs the load and road inputs — delivering
the preferred combination of empty-ride and loaded stability for vocational applications.
AR2 provides versatility for demanding job-sites or off-road conditions. When loaded, AR2 delivers
up to 14" (356 mm) of diagonal wheel articulation to keep load on all drive wheels.
Unloaded articulation varies with vehicle configuration and empty body weight. Available in conversion or complete kit form with 40,000 and 46,000 pound (18,144 and 20,865 kilograms)
capacities, AR2 can be installed by service centers and OEM dealerships who want to give their
customers a new suspension solution.
Figure 2‑1

■■ Trailing arm / Saddle assembly — Replaces spring / saddle assembly of existing RT•RTE

suspensions. The heavy­­‑duty trailing arm / saddle assembly provides lighter weight, good
articulation and optimal ground clearance

■■ Large volume air springs — Rolling lobe design provides variable spring rates to deliver

superior ride quality

■■ Equalizing beam — AR2 is compatible with 40K • 46K capacity Hendrickson RT•RTE walking

■■ Bar pin rubber end bushings — Provide longer bushing life and adds axle alignment capabil-

ity. Three-piece adapter-beam end connection also available

■■ Cross tube — Made from rigid steel to deliver lateral suspension support and enhanced stability.
■■ Longitudinal torque rods — Engineered to optimize resistance to axle wind-up during accel-

eration and braking

■■ Transverse torque rods — Heavy‑duty transverse rods ensure maximum lateral axle control

and straight line suspension stability

■■ Lightweight frame hanger — Controls acceleration, braking, and vertical forces for longer

hanger and trailing arm life

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

FASTENERS
DISCARD USED FASTENERS. ALWAYS USE NEW FASTENERS TO COMPLETE A REPAIR. FAILURE TO DO
SO COULD RESULT IN FAILURE OF THE PART, OR MATING COMPONENTS, Adverse Vehicle Handling,
PERSONAL INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
LOOSE OR OVER TORQUED FASTENERS CAN CAUSE COMPONENT DAMAGE, Adverse Vehicle
Handling, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY. MAINTAIN CORRECT TORQUE VALUE
AT ALL TIMES. CHECK TORQUE VALUES ON A REGULAR BASIS AS SPECIFIED, USING A REGULARLY
CALIBRATED TORQUE WRENCH. TORQUE VALUES SPECIFIED IN THIS TECHNICAL PUBLICATION ARE FOR
HENDRICKSON SUPPLIED FASTENERS ONLY. IF NON HENDRICKSONeBay logo FASTENERS ARE USED, FOLLOW
TORQUE SPECIFICATION LISTED IN THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER’S SERVICE MANUAL.

Beam end connection and saddle cap fasteners
DO NOT ASSEMBLE beam end connection WITHOUT PROPER FASTENERS. Hendrickson
recommends the use of Hendrickson FASTENERS TO sustain PROPER CLAMP FORCE. FAILURE
