FW: [MV] last Sunday's offroad adventure

The rear axle assembly (clip) for an M54 is nearly identical to that of an
M35. They are different only in that the components of the M54 are heavier.

Bruce and list,

I couldn't say for sure if the 5 ton has the same
style rear suspension but I would assume the 5 ton is
built to have extreme amounts of articulation also.
I believe the M35 is considered a walking beam rear
suspension. Remember, the spring pack isn't
necessarily compressed much, it's the center pivot
between the wheels that is doing all the work.

There is a good way to find out...

Marc
