Turningover A New Leaf

摘要

Despite their strength and simplicity,leaf springs on a rear suspension don't last forever. "All springs have an effective life," notes Mike Eaton of Eaton Detroit."They can gradually settle down-like your kids growing older.Or they will break,usually when the vehicle is empty and the spring goes up and into rebound." Replacing a worn-out or snapped spring is a fairly simple proposition and a high-volume business.Last year,Eaton Detroit shipped out 20,000 leaf springs,and that's just from one company.Applications include everything from older cars to newer trucks and SUVs,as well as trailers and off-road equipment.
