Going up the steep hill leading sw out of Aarhus past Viby and Stautrup. Underpowered and/or heavily loaded trucks often struggle here.

Tip: to locate trucks of particular interest to you, check my collections page, "truck collection" (www.flickr.com/photos/lavulv/collections/72157684190396672/ ) - here you will find all trucks organized in albums, by haulier (with zip-codes), year, brand and country.

Retirement age for trucks: many used trucks are offered for sale on international markets. If sold to a foreign buyer, this will not be listed in the danish motor registry, so a "retired" truck may or may not have been exported. In other words, the "retirement age" only shows the age, at which the truck stopped running on danish license plates.

DEFECT #1 - SUSPENSION:FRONT:WHEEL BEARING

Posted on: 1995-06-26
Description
An inner wheel bearing cone may be missing on some of these trailers.

Consequence
Without an inner bearing cone, the wheel uses the oil seal as the inner load support.  Under this load, the oil seal deteriorates causing the oil contained in the wheel cavity to seep and the brake drum to restand drag on the brake lining.  Dragging brakes can cause inadvertent or erratic braking and/or overheating of the brake drum which, in contacting the seeping oil can start a fire in the affected wheel assembly.

Corrective Action
Dealers will inspect all brake components and the axle spindle for any damage or excessive wear.  Dealers will replace and repair as required.

Notes
System: suspension; i-beam; front bearing; wheel.  Vehicle description: dry freight van trailers.note: owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time, should contact fruehauf at 1-810-578-0905.  Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
