Engineered for optimal ride performance in diverse conditions.
The ARB Emu Dakar leaf spring is a critical component of ARB's integrated 4x4 suspension systems, designed to enhance ride performance across various operating conditions. This single leaf spring features a 5 + 2 leaf configuration, providing a balance of strength and flexibility suitable for both recreational and commercial applications. The draw tapered and diamond cut leaves ensure that the load is distributed over a larger surface area, effectively reducing high stress at the leaf ends.
Each spring undergoes a scragging process and is load tested to ensure it takes a permanent set, minimizing the risk of sagging over time. The graphite coating further reduces friction between the spring leaves and friction pads, enhancing overall performance. Additionally, the military wrap design adds an extra layer of safety, while the anti-friction pads made from regreasable nylon liners help to reduce friction at the leaf tips where the load is most significant.
The flat axle seat area allows for a secure axle mount, which reduces spring stress and extends the lifespan of the spring. Shot peening on the tension side of all leaves is employed to further reduce spring stress, potentially doubling the life of the spring. This combination of features makes the ARB Emu Dakar leaf spring a robust choice for those seeking improved ride, handling, and load carrying capabilities.
Features
