Universal knuckle
Meritor has designed a universal knuckle for its nondrive front
steer axles to outfi t drum or air disc brakes. The component has
one service part instead of the previous two knuckles on each axle
so that service parts no longer are dependent on brake types. The
component also is built to offer customers higher payload capacity
by eliminating the need for a heavier 13,200-pound axle.

LED light bar
Peterson's 359 Series light for cargo vehicle interiors features a
slim 1-by-18-inch bar of Great White LEDs with output of 600
lumens per unit. It offers no-splice harness connections and surface
screw-mount versatility whether mounted horizontally or vertically.
Designed for use in any environment from -55 degrees Fahrenheit to
higher temperatures, the 359 Series is suited for a wide range of ap-
plications from heavy-duty dry van and reefer trailers to smaller box
trucks. An optional interior control module/timer switch is available.

Integrated LED
Grote's LED 6-inch oval and 4-inch round Stop/Tail/Turn lamps
are equipped with an integral LED built-in backup lamp designed to
combine dual functions with longer-life LED technology. The lamps are
built to fi t existing grommets and fl anges and are sealed to help protect
against water and chemical ingress, severe environments, shock and
vibration, while their thin profi le helps minimize damage from external
impact by fi tting in shallow-depth pillar locations.
