ArvinMeritor's Commercial Vehicle Systems' Worldwide Suspension Systems division has announced that its RideStar RIS10 double-wishbone independent front suspension will be part of the new Blue Bird Ultra LF low-entry midi bus, available throughout North America beginning in September 2002. ArvinMeritor also will supply the rear-drive-axle Model RS21-145, which uses Quiet Ride gearing.
