R&P Knowledge Hub
In a slipper spring suspension system, the equalizer pivots on the center wet bolt to transfer suspension movement between axles. When one axle encounters uneven terrain, the equalizer rotates to distribute force to the adjacent axle.
Equalizer length directly determines axle spacing and suspension geometry. Before ordering, verify spring width, center bolt diameter, and center-to-center axle spacing.
