Engineered for optimal ride performance and load handling capabilities.
Old Man Emu leaf springs are designed to enhance vehicle performance across various operating conditions. These springs are available in multiple configurations to accommodate both recreational and commercial applications, ensuring versatility in setup. When paired with Old Man Emu 4x4 shock absorbers, these leaf springs significantly improve ride quality, handling, and load-carrying capacity.
The construction of these leaf springs includes draw-tapered and diamond cut leaves, which distribute loads over a larger surface area. This design minimizes high-stress concentrations at the leaf ends, thereby enhancing ride comfort and extending the lifespan of the springs. Additionally, the springs are fully scragged to achieve a permanent set, which helps prevent sagging over time.
Safety features such as military wrap and re-greasable nylon interleaf anti-friction pads are incorporated to reduce friction and enhance durability. The tension side of the leaves undergoes shot peening, a process that can effectively double the lifespan of the spring by reducing stress. Furthermore, the flat axle seat area ensures a secure axle mount, which reduces stress on the spring and contributes to its longevity.
