leaf spring

The leaf spring is a robust suspension element in the chassis and is primarily used in commercial vehicles, vans, pickups, and trailers. It consists of several stacked spring leaves made of high-strength spring steel, which together form a stable and durable spring structure.

Leaf springs perform several important functions in a vehicle. They support the vehicle's weight, compensate for uneven road surfaces, and simultaneously guide the axle. Especially in vehicles with heavy payloads, leaf springs offer a very reliable and durable suspension solution.

The individual spring leaves are designed to move slightly against each other under load. This improves the spring action and effectively dampens shocks. Many designs also incorporate bushings, brackets, or spring clamps to ensure a secure attachment to the vehicle frame.

Over time, leaf springs can be damaged by high stress, corrosion, or material fatigue. Typical signs include a lowered vehicle height, uneven suspension, or noises from the chassis.
