It had American 3-point suspension with compensating levers for indifferent tracks in India.

The wheels were sprung with leaf springs located over the top, that were linked by a compensating lever between the coupled wheels.

The effect was to allow the bar to act as a compensating lever between the two axles and to use both springs to soften shocks from either axle.

The engine had a riveted interior sheet-metal frame and the coupled wheels had springs under the axle boxes, that were not linked by compensating levers.

The suspension on the driving wheels was achieved by leaf springs underneath and was linked to the leaf springs of the leading wheels using a compensating lever.

There were compensating levers to equalise the weight between the coupled axles, and the outside-framed bogie also had compensating levers; it carried about a third of the locomotive's weight.
