Used Truck Suspension & Steering Components – Other Parts

Used truck suspension & steering components – other parts

On a heavy truck, many smaller suspension and steering components work together to keep the chassis stable and the steering precise. Bump stops, torque rods, brackets, ECAS height sensors and steering columns all play a part in controlling axle position, ride height and steering feel on modern European HGVs.

In this category we offer used OEM suspension & steering components that do not fit neatly into other subcategories. Typical examples include axle bump stops and brackets, V-stay/torque rods, stabiliser bar mounts, ECAS electronic control units and height sensors, as well as steering columns and related brackets for popular truck brands.

What you will find in the Other Suspension & Steering category

Stock in the Other Suspension & Steering category changes as new donor trucks arrive, but it typically includes:

• axle bump stops and brackets for front and rear axles on European tractors and rigids;
• V-stay and torque rods that locate drive axles and control axle movement under load and braking;
• stabiliser bar components such as anti-roll bar brackets, saddles and drop-link mounts;
• ECAS and air suspension parts – electronic control units, remote controls and height sensors used to regulate ride height;
• steering columns and brackets that connect the steering wheel to the steering gear and support column adjustment;
• other suspension and steering brackets and mounts supplied together with the main component as shown in the photos.

Each listing includes clear photos, OE/OEM part numbers where available and donor vehicle details so you can compare dimensions, mounting style, connector type and orientation with the parts fitted to your own truck.

Truck brands & typical applications

Most components in this category are removed from mainstream European heavy trucks, including:

• DAF XF and CF long-haul and distribution tractors and rigids;
• MAN TGS and TGX chassis in 4x2, 6x2, 6x4 and 8x2 configurations;
• Mercedes-Benz Actros, Antos and Arocs in a range of axle and suspension layouts;
• Volvo FH and FM long-distance and regional haulage vehicles;
• other brands such as Scania, Iveco and Renault Trucks when suitable donor vehicles are available.

Because these are genuine OEM components taken from complete trucks, each part is normally linked to a specific axle position, suspension type, steering system and emission standard.

Why these suspension & steering components matter

Even relatively small suspension and steering parts are critical for:

• stability and handling – correct bump stops, torque rods and stabiliser mounts help keep axles located and the chassis under control;
• ride quality and comfort – ECAS sensors and brackets allow the air suspension to maintain the correct ride height and damping;
• steering precision – properly mounted steering columns and brackets support predictable steering response and driver confidence;
• tyre wear and brake performance – stable axle geometry reduces scrub and supports balanced braking between axles.

Typical reasons to replace suspension & steering components

Common reasons to order parts from this category include:

• accident damage to bump stops, brackets, torque rods or stabiliser mounts after kerb strikes or off-road use;
• severe corrosion on brackets and fixings, especially in high-salt environments;
• worn bushes and joints in V-stays and torque rods causing knocks, vibration or poor axle control;
• ECAS faults due to damaged height sensors, linkages or control units;
• play or misalignment in the steering column caused by worn bearings or damaged brackets;
• replacing non-original parts with the correct OEM suspension or steering components specified for your truck.

How to choose the correct suspension or steering part

To minimise fitting issues and ensure the right performance, please check the following before ordering:

• truck brand, model and chassis type – for example DAF XF106, MAN TGX Euro 6, Mercedes Actros MP4, Volvo FH4;
• axle position and suspension type – front vs rear, steer vs drive, air suspension vs leaf or mixed systems;
• component function – bump stop, torque rod, stabiliser mount, ECAS sensor, steering column or other bracket;
• mounting style and dimensions – bolt pattern, bush size, bracket shape and orientation relative to the chassis or axle;
• electrical and air connections where relevant (connectors, plugs, air line fittings);
• OEM part numbers on your existing component, matched against the references shown in the product description.

If you are unsure, you can contact us with your VIN or registration number and clear photos of the existing part and mounting area. Our team can help you confirm compatibility before you place an order. For general guidance, see How to Find the Right Part and Compatibility & VIN Policy.

Used OEM suspension & steering parts from dismantled trucks

VRA Truckparts specialises in used OEM truck parts sourced from carefully selected donor vehicles. Trucks are inspected and documented before dismantling so that suspension, steering and chassis components can be assessed properly. During dismantling, our technicians remove components such as bump stops, torque rods, brackets, ECAS sensors and steering columns, check them for visible damage and reject items that do not meet our standards.

Usable parts are cleaned externally, labelled with OEM references where available and stored under cover in our yard and warehouse ready for dispatch. To learn more about how we work and which trucks we break, please visit Our Dismantling & Quality Process, Warranty & Part Condition and Trucks We Dismantle.
