Leaf springs, one of the oldest suspension systems, have remained prevalent due to their ability to evenly distribute loads across the chassis. There are two primary types: multi-leaf, featuring stacked leaves with friction during compression and decompression, and parabolic springs, designed for low internal friction and minimum weight with fewer, parabolic-shaped leaves that minimize bending stress. The longest leaf has two eyes for vehicle body attachment, with U-bolts securing the spring's center to the vehicle axle. Rubber pads can further alleviate friction. 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. Manufacturing plants comply with quality assurance and environmental standards. Safety: Please carefully check the 'Build' and 'Notes' relevant to your vehicle within the catalogue when choosing your part. Other designs may exist that are not covered within our range. For safety and OE handling characteristics, we recommend that leaf springs are always replaced in axle pairs. Changing a spring can be a dangerous job, and we therefore recommend 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. A recognized repair manual should be followed to check the correct torque. 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.
