NMFC 18760 - Front Wheel Suspensions | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Stabilize heavy ends: place knuckles and hubs low on a 48x40 pallet, then strap struts vertically or use an A‑frame crate to keep the center of gravity down.
2. Protect precision parts: cap tie‑rod and ball‑joint studs, shield ABS tone rings and sensor leads with foam, and use edge guards where banding contacts metal.
3. For used take‑offs, wipe excess grease, remove loose brake hardware if attached, and bag components to prevent oil or grit from transferring to other freight.
4. Document what’s included—left/right assemblies, control arms, hub/bearing status—and label each package; this speeds claims handling and receiving counts.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.

• Cleaner quotes and fewer reclass fees by clearly identifying shipments as front wheel suspensions under NMFC 18760.
• Lower damage risk—and claim costs—by protecting studs, sensors, and mounting points that commonly bend or snap in transit.
• Better LTL rates through standardized pallet footprints and secure unitization that improve stackability and cross‑dock handling.
• Faster receiving and reduced labor when assemblies are kitted per vehicle or part number with clear labeling and counts.
