What is Leaf Springs?
Leaf spring is a length of Flat spring steel plates bent in an arch usually with curled ends (eyes) to allow mounting to the frame. The eyes are usually filled with rubber bushings to reduce noise when the leafs flex. A bolt through the front eye secures the spring to the frame, and a pin through the rear eye attaches the spring to a Shackle. Another pin attaches the shackle to the frame. The pivoting shackle accommodates the changes in the effective length of the spring as it flexes. The axle housing is secured to the leaf spring with two U-bolts on either side. Some applications need only one leaf spring; but most have several leaves, each smaller than the other, nested together to help the main spring. Rebound clips are used at the ends to hold several leafs together to keep them from separating sideways. In a single-leaf application, sometimes two holes are drilled in the center of the main spring to mount a u-bolt which surrounds the axle.Leaf springs are also called semi-elliptic springs.
