Hendrickson Suspension Hanger Bushing Ring Replacement
Inspection and replacement of worn suspension hanger bushing rings in compatible Hendrickson suspension systems.
What this service covers
Northwest Axle Spindle provides inspection and replacement of worn suspension hanger bushing rings in compatible Hendrickson suspension systems.
The hanger bushing ring works with the suspension bushing to absorb road shock, reduce vibration, prevent metal-on-metal contact and help maintain proper suspension and axle alignment. Worn components can contribute to noise, excessive movement, uneven load distribution and premature wear on surrounding suspension parts.
Fitment information
Hendrickson hanger bushing rings are available in narrow and wide configurations. The correct component must be confirmed from the suspension model, existing bushing kit, ring dimensions and current component numbers.
Manufacturer compatibility references include:
- Hendrickson RS
- Hendrickson HT
- Hendrickson HLA
- Select Hendrickson HTR and Hybrid systems
- Wide: Hendrickson S-24691 Tri-Functional Quick Align Pivot Bushing Kit
- Narrow: TFIII Trailer Hendrickson INTRAAX MHS745/S-26321 Bushing Kit
These references are fitment guides only. Compatibility must be confirmed by inspection before parts are ordered or installed.
When inspection is recommended
- Excessive suspension movement
- Increased vibration or noise
- Uneven tire wear
- Poor axle alignment
- Uneven load distribution
- Visible deterioration or damage around the hanger pivot
- A worn, loose or damaged suspension bushing
The suspension bushing and hanger bushing ring work together. When one is worn, both components should be inspected, and replacement together may be recommended.
What technicians inspect
- Hanger pivot, bushing and ring condition
- Suspension model, existing bushing kit and current component numbers
- Ring dimensions and narrow or wide configuration
- Axle alignment and surrounding suspension components

Northwest Axle Spindle is an independent service and installation company. We inspect and replace compatible components but do not manufacture them.
Repairability is determined after inspection. Northwest Axle Spindle does not promise that every damaged spindle or axle can be repaired — when replacement of the complete axle is the correct repair, that is what gets recommended.
