massey 6400 cab suspension again

[Truenorth]

Anyone know is there is much difference between the MF 5400 shocks/springs or the Ned Murphy shocks/springs?

Does anyone know if there is any difference between the MF 5400 shocks and springs compared to the Ned Murphy shocks and springs? To fit on a 6480?

As recommended on here, cb0197 is what you want. £45 apiece on 'bestpartsstore.co.uk' Half dodgy, actually autodoc in Germany. Will try to add things on and send them when it suits, but did arrive and fit straight on.

My 6480 is getting worse on the road, the cab wobbles about all over the place to the point where it’s too bad to run flat out. How do you tell if the front mounts are getting nakered? Have no problem with air leaks, the compressor is hardly ever on.

Also thought it could be the back tyres, definitely feel a flat spot if it’s been sitting for a few days. What pressure should they be at?

Stand on the ground by the cab steps and grab the hand rail, shake cab side to side you’ll soon know- should be fairly firm.

Think there is a bit of sideways movement, pity I can’t post a video. The bolt looks to be still sitting in the centre but the rubber does look split

Any idea how much they are? Right side looks ok to do, left looks like you have to drop the diesel tank?

you will need to unbolt the bracket on both sides and use the new bush to press the old one out of the housing . they are tight

i made a sleeve out of suitable sized thick wall pipe to do it
and yes very tight!

I used to just cut the old ones in 2 places with a hacksaw then they just drop out. Then press the new one in with some grease.

I usually do that on bushes to be removed then clean up surfaces add wd40 and press new one in!
