General
General
BT300 is designed for a maximum load of

30 tonnes. BT300 is also available with
8x30 springs for 32 tonnes bogie pressure.
BT201 is a lighter version of BT300 and is
designed for a maximum load of 21 tonnes.
Both BT300 and BT201 can be equipped with
either parabolic springs or multi-leaf springs.
Refer to Overview for more information about
how the BT330 and BT201 are designed.
In principle, the same tools are used when
working on BT201 as on BT300.

Safety precautions
Safety precautions
IMPORTANT! Apply the parking brake before

jacking up the vehicle.
! WARNING!
Both the chassis and moving axle

suspension components must be
secured against falling with stands to
ensure absolute safety when working
under a raised vehicle.
When the axle suspension is released,

the axle can swing round because of the
weight of the central gear.
IMPORTANT! The torque rods can be renewed

without having to jack up the vehicle. The
wheels must be chocked in both directions so
that the axles remain fixed. It is important that
the axle does not move during the work. The
brakes must be applied.
IMPORTANT! The vehicle must never be

jacked up or supported with stands under torque
rods, since damage may arise which will
subsequently lead to a breakdown.

Fixing
IMPORTANT! The torque rods can be renewed

without having to jack up the vehicle. The
wheels must be chocked in both directions so
that the axles remain fixed. It is important that
the axle does not move during the work. The
brakes must be applied.
! WARNING!
There is a risk of personal injury if the

axle is not fixed. The axle can swing
round because of the weight of the
central gear.
Checking
A damaged torque rod should always be
renewed.
No welding or straightening may be carried out
on a torque rod.
123 125
Adjusting
Note: The difference in length between the two

lower torque rod mountings which are fitted in
pairs on the same axle may not exceed 1 mm
when initially fitted.
Adjustment is carried out using washers

1 357 944 between the torque rod and its
bracket. At least two washers are therefore
needed for each mounting.
The same number of washers should be used for
both bolts on the torque rod mountings.
123 126
Adjustment is made by measuring axle

alignment.

When check-tightening the bolt tightening

Note: Renew the bolts if the torque is not

400 Nm when check tightening.
Renewing the M16 bolt

Vehicles produced before the above chassis
number have an M16 bolt instead of an M18
bolt.
On vehicles which are driven, for example,
with heavy loads or at high speeds on poor
roads, M16 torque rod bolts on vehicles with
BT300 can lose clamping force.
When checking, all bolts and studs should have
a torque higher than 200 Nm.
Note: Replace the bolts which have too low a

tightening torque with new M16 bolts and
reuse the others.
During renewal, hardened washers should be

used on all bolts and the tightening torque
should be increased to 270 Nm +90°.
Note: The surfaces behind the hardened

washers must be flat.

Renewing torque rods

The following applies when fitting a new torque
rod:
• A quantity of hardened washers 1.0 mm
thick are supplied as spare parts with each
torque rod.
• The washers are used to alter the effective

length of one of the lower torque rods if an
adjustment is made to the rolling direction
of the rear axle.
• When fitting washers, the thread protruding
from the nut must not less than at least 2
complete turns.
113 033
• The same number of washers should be
used for both bolts on the torque rod
mountings.
Note: When fitting, it is important to use new

bolts, washers and nuts. On BT300, hardened
washers should be used behind both nuts and
bolts.

• Any colour marking on the torque rod is

simply to ensure that the correct rod ends up
on the correct vehicle when the vehicle is
manufactured at the factory and does not
indicate length or type.
