How to Properly Use and Maintain Leaf Spring Accessories

The leaf springs accessories are most commonly used in heavy trucks. The common leaf spring is a symmetrical steel plate spring made of a combination of plates of unequal width and length. It is installed in the vehicle suspension system, and its role is to connect the frame and axle together in the form of suspension, to bear the load impact of the wheels on the frame, to reduce the violent vibration of the body, to maintain the smoothness of the vehicle driving and adaptability to different road conditions. The leaf spring consists of: steel plate spring – steel plate clamp – centre bolt – bolt – coil lug – bushing.

In the practical use of load vehicles, the wear factor of leaf springs is high and can lead to fracture phenomena when road conditions are harsh for long periods of time. At this time the broken steel plates must be replaced. Meanwhile, in addition to maintenance and inspection, the driver’s driving habits are also important. When passing through speed bumps, it is necessary to reduce the speed of the vehicle and try to avoid sharp turns. Speeding too fast can increase the weight on one side significantly, which can damage not only the leaf springs but also the rims, causing fatal damage to the stability of the vehicle.
