Peterbilt 367 Steer Axle Springs & Hangers

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 367 Steer Axle Springs & Hangers

What is the difference between a steer axle spring and a spring hanger?

The steer axle spring, typically a leaf spring, supports the weight of the front end of the truck and helps absorb road shock to maintain steering control and ride stability. The spring hanger is the mounting bracket that attaches the spring assembly to the truck frame, holding it securely in place and allowing it to pivot and flex as the suspension moves. Both components work together, so wear or damage to one often affects the performance of the other.

How do I know if my Peterbilt 367 springs or hangers need to be replaced?

Common signs include uneven ride height, excessive front-end bouncing, cracked or sagging leaf springs, visible rust or metal fatigue on the hanger brackets, and unusual noises such as clunking or squeaking when going over bumps. If you notice the truck pulling to one side or uneven tire wear on the steer axle, it is a good idea to have the springs and hangers inspected.

Will these springs and hangers fit my specific Peterbilt 367 configuration?

Steer axle spring and hanger specifications can vary based on axle capacity, wheelbase, and model year, so it is important to confirm fitment before purchasing. Check the listed specifications against your truck's build sheet or axle rating, and if you are unsure, reach out to our parts team with your VIN or axle information so we can help confirm the correct part for your application.

Are these parts made from OEM materials, or are they aftermarket replacements?

Our inventory includes a mix of genuine OEM and quality aftermarket steer axle springs and hangers. Each product listing specifies whether the part is OEM or aftermarket, along with details on material construction, so you can choose the option that best fits your budget and performance needs.

Can I install a replacement steer axle spring or hanger myself, or should I have a professional do it?

Replacing steer axle springs and hangers involves working with heavy components under load and often requires specialized tools to safely lift, support, and align the axle assembly. While experienced technicians with the right equipment may be comfortable doing this job themselves, most fleet owners and owner-operators choose to have this type of suspension work performed by a qualified truck repair shop to ensure proper fit, torque specifications, and alignment.
