Key Features & Benefits

These are basically really long, heavy – duty springs, usually made of layered steel. They support the weight of your vehicle, absorb bumps and shocks from the road, and help keep everything level. They flex and move with the suspension to give you a smoother ride and keep your tires on the ground. They handle a lot of stress, believe me. Think of them as a critical part of your suspension system. They connect the axle to the frame of the vehicle. Everything from the weight of the cargo to hitting a pothole is transferred through these springs. They’re especially important on heavier – duty vehicles—trucks, vans, things like that—because they’re built to handle a lot more load. They work with your shocks and other suspension components, but they do a lot of the heavy lifting, literally.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if these start to sag or break, you'll notice if you're hauling a load – the ride will be rougher, and the vehicle will feel unstable. You’ll also likely see a noticeable difference in how the vehicle handles—it might sway more or feel like it's bottoming out easily. Bad leaf springs can also cause uneven tire wear and even affect your braking. They’re a safety item, plain and simple. If they’re worn out, you're losing control and ride quality. You can find a good selection of these at places like Fixparts Online, but more importantly, get them checked out regularly as part of your vehicle maintenance. It’s better to catch a problem early before it becomes a real issue.
