Leaf Spring Features

    Draw tapered and diamond cut leaves ensure the load is progressively distributed over a larger surface area, reducing the high stresses that develop at leaf ends, increasing ride comfort and longevity
    Leaf clamps are bolted to allow installation of anti squeak nylon liners
    Fully scragged to ensure the spring takes a permanent ‘set’ which reduces the risk of sagging
    Load testing ensures the spring meets the required specification
    Military wrap designed to provide added safety
    Re-greasable nylon interleaf anti friction pads reduce friction at the leaf tips where the load is the greatest

    Flat axle seat area allows a positive, safe axle mount reducing spring stress and increasing spring life
    The tension side of all leaves is shot peened to reduce spring stress. This process can double the life of a spring
    Two-stage leaf pack featured on most rear springs for optimum comfort. When unladen, the vehicle is largely riding on the primary stage, with the secondary stage providing additional support when a heavy load is added

PLEASE NOTE: Most Old Man Emu Leaf Springs have all the listed features, but where design or a physical limitation exists, one or more of these features may not be incorporated. Please check with your OME licensed dealer for further information.
