leaf Spring Suspension
The leaf spring suspension consists of spring
hangers, spring seats, equalizer bushings, leaf
spring assemblies, torque arms, and U-bolts.
Care and maintenance are required to ensure
satisfactory service life. The springs must be tightly
clamped to the spring seat and axle to prevent any
movement between U-bolts. Excessive movement
can result in misalignment of axles. It is important
that spring U-bolts be checked for proper tightness
regularly. Leaf spring suspension inspection and
maintenance requirements are available at the
component manufacturer web sites accessible
through www.wabashnational.com.
For example, the Hutchens suspension’s torque
requirements are reflected in the diagram
below. Make sure you follow the manufacturer’s
requirements for your specific make and model of
suspension.
