Leaf Springs

Smooth ride of a cargo vehicle and the role of leaf springs in suspension

The smoothness of the suspension is an important factor when transporting cargo and in the technical condition of the vehicle, which all drivers pay attention to. The quality of the suspension affects the comfort of the ride, which is provided by shock absorbers, leaf springs, and air bags. However, for some trucks and buses, increased reliability and load capacity are required, and in such cases, leaf springs are used instead of regular coil springs.

If you want to buy leaf springs, it is important to choose high-quality leaf spring sheets and complete leaf springs that will meet your requirements. In our store, you can find leaf springs for various vehicles, including front and rear leaf springs for Gazelle, Sprinter, leaf spring sheets for KamAZ, MAZ, commercial foreign vehicles such as DAF, MAN, Renault, Scania, Iveco, and others, as well as leaf springs for trailers and semi-trailers.

Types of leaf springs and their role in a vehicle

A leaf spring is an element of a vehicle’s suspension system, designed to compensate for oscillations, jolts, and impacts that occur when driving on uneven roads. It consists of several steel sheets that provide the necessary flexibility and strength. The leaf spring plays an important role in ensuring a smooth ride and driving comfort, which is especially important for vehicles with increased load capacity.

There are several types of leaf springs today:

• Half-leaf springs — used for passenger cars and small commercial vehicles;
• Transverse leaf springs — applied to passenger cars and some trucks;
• Quarter leaf springs — used for heavier vehicles;
• Three-quarter leaf springs — used for vehicles with high suspension requirements;
• Double elliptical leaf springs — often used for heavy-duty trucks and trailers.

Each of these types of leaf springs is designed to ensure smooth movement of the vehicle and comfort for the driver and passengers. However, over time, the leaf spring wears out and needs to be replaced.

Signs of leaf spring wear and the need for replacement

To understand when you need to buy leaf springs for replacement, you should pay attention to several signs. The leaf spring consists of steel sheets that lose their strength over time. This phenomenon is called metal fatigue, which leads to deformation and sagging of the leaf spring, especially under constant load. Cracking can also occur when the material loses its elasticity. Sharp temperature changes have a significant effect on the leaf springs, making them less flexible and reducing their service life.

Leaf spring replacement is necessary if you notice the following signs:

• Chips or cracks on the leaf sheets;
• Corrosion formation on the leaf spring;
• Sagging of the rear part of the vehicle;
• A difference in height between the front and rear of the cargo vehicle.

Additionally, if you want to increase the load capacity of the truck, you may need to buy rear or front leaf springs for a stronger and more durable suspension.
