Installation
Attaching SWIFT and Wheel Assembly to the Vehicle
1. Before installing the SWIFT and wheel assembly, attach the anti-rotate
bracket to the vehicle.
Since the bracket is unique to each vehicle the anti-rotate bracket must be
provided by the customer. The following are guidelines for manufacturing
and locating the bracket. See the next two figures.
• The bracket must be stiff, preferably steel or stiff stainless steel tubing,
so as not to move or rotate when connected to an unsprung mass or
spindle which will allow the slip ring assembly to move with the tire as
the vehicle is moving or testing.
• The bracket must be positioned so as not to hit the fender at the
extreme end of the suspension travel.
• The bracket must maintain a minimum clearance from the tire so as not
to hit the tire when it is loaded and rotating.
For front or steering axles,
anti-rotate arm must be
mounted to a part of the
unsprung suspension that
steers with the tire, such as
the brake caliper.
