Axel, front----------front fixed location
Axel, rear-----------Oscillation ± 13º of center pin-loaded

Er der nogen, der kan gennemskue, hvad det handler om? Det er højst sandsynligt ukorrekt engelsk, så hvis I synes, det ligner noget, I kender, må I meget gerne give et bud.

Explanation:
It's not bad English. It is standard technical language. I know what centre pin-loaded means in English. It's about the loading around a centre pin (cylindrical/circular object) see:

http://www.tech.plym.ac.uk/sme/Interactive_Resources/tutoria...

but in danish a pin in a bridge is called something else to a pin in a car.

There were a number of suggestions for centre pin e.g. hovedbolt, hovedtap, kingpin, tværdrager, but these are not used for pin-loaded.

Support and load are the same but opposite. Where there is a load (last) there is a support (støtte), otherwise there is no load, so in this case they could be interchanged.

The suggestion above was found on German/Tysk websites, but not Danish.
