Finally, please keep in mind the following installation considerations if you are currently using ASA-5's today: – The Versajust product (with corresponding clevis) can be installed as a direct replacement for the equivalent ASA-5 part

number.

– If replacing an ASA-5 on one side of the axle, it is not necessary to replace the ASA-5 on the other side of the axle. In other

words – the Versajust and ASA-5 parts are cross compatible across the axle.

– The Versajust’s 1.3" pin-to-pin clevis dimension provides easy compatibility with industry standard welded and universal

clevises.

– All other installation instructions and considerations remain the same as the ASA-5 product. Please reference the installation

instructions for further information.

– It is worth noting that all other currently active ASA-5 part numbers not listed

on this page will continue to remain active and saleable without change.
