Old Man Emu Leaf Spring (MPN: EL116R)

Engineered for optimal ride performance and load handling capabilities.

Old Man Emu leaf springs are designed to enhance ride quality and handling across various operating conditions. These springs are available in multiple configurations to accommodate both recreational and commercial vehicle setups. The draw tapered and diamond cut leaves distribute load over a larger surface area, which minimizes stress at the leaf ends, thereby improving comfort and extending the lifespan of the springs.

Each spring undergoes a scragging process to ensure it maintains a permanent set, significantly reducing the risk of sagging over time. The military wrap design enhances safety, while re-greasable nylon interleaf anti-friction pads minimize friction at critical load points. Load testing is performed to guarantee that each spring meets stringent specifications, ensuring reliability and performance.

The flat axle seat area provides a secure axle mount, reducing stress on the spring and contributing to its longevity. Additionally, the shot peening process applied to the tension side of the leaves can effectively double the lifespan of the spring. Most rear springs feature a two-stage leaf pack, allowing for optimal comfort when unladen and additional support when carrying heavier loads.

Features
