RH TRAILING ARM ASSEMBLY: Genuine Ridewell replacement beam for the Right Hand (Passenger Side) of RSS-233 and RSS-232 Self-Steering Auxiliary Axles.
PRE-INSTALLED BUSHING: Arrives with the large rubber pivot bushing factory-bonded and installed. Eliminates the need for a heavy-duty hydraulic press to seat a new bushing during the beam replacement process.
STRUCTURAL STEEL REPLACEMENT: Designed to replace bent, cracked, or collision-damaged trailing arms. Restores correct suspension geometry and caster alignment for steerable lift axles.
VERIFIED CROSS-REFERENCE: Directly replaces Ridewell 4280255 and 4280255+E (Right Hand equivalents). Engineered specifically for the unique geometry of Ridewell's steerable suspension systems.
HEAVY DUTY COATING: Finished with Ridewell's OEM corrosion-resistant coating to protect against road salt and debris impact common in lift-axle positions.
Description
The OEM Replacement Beam for Steerable Lift Axles.The Ridewell 5970407 RH Beam Assembly is the structural trailing arm found on RSS-233 and RSS-232 Self-Steering Axles. These beams endure massive torsional stress as the axle steers and lifts. If your fleet vehicle has suffered a curb impact or collision, replacing the entire beam is often the only way to restore safe steering geometry.
