Dana Holding Corp. has said that Navistar has chosen its axles and driveshafts as standard equipment on the International TerraStar 4x4 medium-duty truck.
The all-wheel-drive vehicles have started reaching customers.
“Not only do Spicer axle and driveshaft technologies offer best-in-class performance and efficiency, but they also offer the rugged durability that is required in this line of hardworking trucks,” said Pat D'Eramo, president of Dana Commercial Vehicle Driveline Technologies.
The TerraStar features Dana’s Spicer Model 273 front drive steer axle, which delivers ae turn angle of 42 deg., a GAWR of 8,000 lbs., and popular axle ratios.

It has a variety of patented and exclusive features for longer life, improved reliability, excellent durability, and quieter operation, Dana said, and comes with a GAWR rating of 14,000 lbs. and a maximum GCWR highway rating of 35,000 lbs.
Standard driveshafts are a mix of Spicer Life Series models. The SPL 55 and SPL 100 are permanently lubricated with sealed splines to reduce maintenance costs and precision balanced for reduced noise, vibration, and harshness.
