Abstract
An axle-to-beam connection for an axle/suspension system of a heavy-duty vehicle that includes an axle, a beam with an alignment assembly, and an axle mount assembly. The alignment assembly is integrally formed with or is rigidly attached to the beam. The axle mount assembly intimately contacts and captures the axle. The axle is rigidly secured to the axle mount assembly without line welds. The axle mount assembly is removably connected to the alignment assembly to secure the axle to the beam.
