Leaf springs, one of the oldest suspension systems, remain prevalent in light commercial and 4WD vehicles due to their ability to evenly distribute loads across the chassis. There are two primary types: multi-leaf springs with stacked, differently-sized leaves where friction between leaves creates load variations, and parabolic springs designed for low internal friction and minimum weight with fewer leaves in a parabolic shape. The longest leaf has two eyes for attaching to the vehicle body, and U-bolts secure the spring's center to the vehicle axle. The strength and safety of the eyes are critical in both types. The manufacturing process involves leaf preparation, bending, heat treatment, shot peening, assembling, presetting, and surface treatment, ensuring strength and corrosion protection, with manufacturing plants complying with quality assurance and environmental standards. For safety and OE handling characteristics, it is recommended that leaf springs are always replaced in axle pairs. Changing a spring can be a dangerous job and it is recommended a recognized repair manual is followed for replacement. When removing a leaf spring, first unfasten the spring from the axle and then from the fitting points on the body of the vehicle. Check and clean all fitting points and repair or replace them as necessary. Always replace U-bolts (spring clamps). When replacing a leaf spring, first fasten the spring to the fitting points on the body of the vehicle and then to the axle. It is important to ensure that U-bolts (spring clamps) are properly tightened to the correct level of torque, following a recognized repair manual. There should be no movement of the spring between the U-bolts. Any leaf spring breakage between the U-bolts will be due to insufficient tightening (allowing movement) and will not be covered by our warranty. ROC leaf springs are made to the highest standard from top-quality steel in an ISO9001 environment. All springs are inspected and tested before delivery. All ROC leaf springs are produced and finished to OEM standards.
