Hendrickson Truck Suspension Systems now offers its Steertek front steer axle at 13,000, 13,200, 14,000 and 14,600 pound ratings on International's ProStar+, LoneStar and TranStar models

. The company has also announced that the steer axle comes with a standard 10-year, 1 million mile limited warranty.

Steertek's rigid, box-shaped design resists twisting forces more effectively than traditional I-beams, while the patented two-piece knuckle assembly simplifies kingpin bushing serviceability, Hendrickson says. The integrated steering arm and tie rod attachments increase strength and further reduce weight.

The warranty coverage includes the axle beam, steering arm, knuckle assemblies and kingpins when used in Hendrickson-approved applications in the U.S. and Canada within the proper guidelines of Steertek.

Steertek is the platform for Hendrickson's line of front suspension solutions including Airtek front air suspensions and Softek, an advanced, lightweight front mechanical suspension featuring Monoleaf springs.
