Used Walking Beam 1990–2019

A walking beam is a pivoting torque rod used in tandem rear axle suspension on heavy-duty trucks and semi-trailers. It connects the two rear axles to a common pivot on the frame, allowing each axle to move independently over obstacles while equalizing load between them. When the beam or its center bushings fail, both axles pay the price. Redline carries 12 used walking beams from heavy-duty vehicles across 8 makes, listed by 4 sellers. These are pulled from retired or wrecked commercial trucks and are direct replacements for worn or cracked beams on tandem-axle straight trucks, medium-duty service vehicles, and some heavy pickup-based chassis. Uneven tire wear between the tandem axles, a bouncing or rocking ride quality, audible clunking from the rear suspension, and axle shimmy under load or braking are the typical symptoms. Worn center bushings are the most common failure point and can sometimes be rebushed if the beam itself is still straight. Search by year, make, and model to find a walking beam for your suspension. Common makes in stock include Chevrolet, Honda, Infiniti, Mercedes Benz, Ford. A used OEM beam from a matching application saves a lot over commercial truck dealer pricing.
