- Provides balance of strength and weight for performance in on- and off-highway applications
- Available with the optional SAF INTEGRAL Air Disc Brake Axle System with the P89 optional wheel end package
- P89 accommodates both industry-standard single wide-based wheels with up to 2-inch offsets and dual wheel configurations
- Wider bearing configuration helps distribute load between bearings
- Features SwingAlign for fast and convenient axle alignment by the adjustment screw, requiring less than 250 ft.-lbs. of torque to adjust
- QwikRelease Pin Pull provides easy slider adjustments, allowing one person slider repositioning and easy elimination of bound-up pins
- Comes standard with BLACK ARMOURTM metal protection process which chemically bonds with metal to form a protective skin that is impervious to water and stands up against harsh anti-icing agents
