Lateral Cab Motion M-852-001 (September 2007) Valid for All GU models Case description On certain CTP and GU model chassis, lateral motion of the cab may be experienced when entering, during and exiting a turn. To dampen this lateral motion, a cab lateral damper and mounting arrangement has been developed and is available through the MACK Parts System. Should lateral cab motion complaints be encountered, installation of the cab lateral damper is recommended. Note: Does not apply to Mack Trucks Australia.

Refer to the part number table following figure 11 to determine which bolt must be used. Procedures for installing the cab lateral damper are as follows: 1. Secure the chassis for service, apply the parking brakes and block the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. 2. Disconnect the fuel line and the vent line from the fuel tank. Plug the lines, and also plug the ports in the tank to prevent dirt entry. 3. Disconnect the fuel level sensor harness connector. 4. Position a suitable lifting device (such as a transmission jack with a suitable cradle) under the fuel tank. Warning Be sure the transmission jack is positioned under the center of the tank to keep it properly balanced when it is being removed from the chassis. The fuel in the tank may slosh from side-to-side, resulting in the tank falling from the jack. 5. Remove the nuts from the fuel tank mounting strap T-bolts at the bottom of the fuel tank. 6. Carefully lower the jack. Lift the mounting straps out of the way, and then roll the fuel tank away from the chassis. Place the jack and tank in a safe location where they will not interfere with the remaining procedures, and where the tank cannot be inadvertently knocked off the jack. 7. Installation of the cab lateral damper mounting bracket requires that three holes for the rearward mounting fasteners be drilled in the cab floor panel. Install the cab lateral damper mounting bracket as follows: a. Remove both the driver and rider seats. b. Remove the trim panels from the cab back wall, and also remove the carpeting from the cab floor. c. Clean the silicone sealant from the forward two holes in the cab floor where the cab damper mounting bracket will be secured. It will be necessary to drill the remaining holes in the cab floor for installation of the cab damper mounting bracket. Note: The forward hole on the left-hand side of the cab floor already includes a weld nut for the mounting bracket fastener, whereas the right-hand hole does not include a weld nut. d. Using an M8 x 1.25 tap, clean the silicone sealant from the threads of the weld nut on the left-hand side of the cab floor. Cab Lateral Damper Mounting Bracket Drilling and Mounting Locations e. Locate the mounting bracket (part No. 30QS5375M) in place underneath the cab floor, and secure with one bolt (part No. 26AM13) and flat washer (part No. 271AM8) at the forward hole on the left-hand side of the cab floor (location that includes the weld nut). Also install a bolt (part No. 26AM14), washer (part No. 271AM8) and nut (part No. 191AM2) at the right-hand side lower cab flange. Note: Apply never-seize compound to the threads of the bolts before installing. Locating Damper Mounting Bracket Underneath Cab Floor Key Qty.
