Leaf springs are an integral part of your vehicle’s suspension system. They are installed to help support the entire weight of your car or truck. Leaf springs also help to maintain the tyres grip on the road and regulate the wheelbase lengths when it is speeding up or slowing down. To control the height of the ride and axel damping leaf springs are very important.
These parts are susceptible to wear and tear which is why people would want to have them replaced. Either the leaf springs wear out and begin to sag, lowering the chassis of the vehicle or the leaf spring is cracked and broken. Oftentimes people also prefer to upgrade their leaf springs to one that is heavy duty to help increase the support and keep the vehicle safer. However, leaf spring replacement is not something anyone can do. It is always best to take your vehicle to a professional.
Often not you will not have to change your whole suspensions when you are repairing it, but it readies to understand exactly what needs to be replaced. When you are making that choice, it is important that you examine all parts for extreme wear and damage so that you can make the proper decision.
