Leaf Spring Diagnosis
Visual Inspection of Leaf Springs
By disassembling your spring pack and visually inspecting the leaf spring, our spring specialists can identify degradation of steel (pitting), cracks, or broken leaves.
Bench Measurements
For springs submitted for bench repair (non-installed springs), free arch measurements can be taken and compared to the manufacturer's free arch specification.
Vehicle Ride Height Evaluation
Inspecting the vehicle’s ride height is a critical component to determining potential leaf spring issues.
Weight Capacity and Load Distribution
Overloading (insufficient weight capacity) and uneven weight distribution can cause a vehicle to sag or lean.
Spring Condition Assessment
The condition of the spring bushings, the general age of the spring, & the condition of the leaves are all taken into consideration when determining if the integrity level of your spring has been compromised.
Solutions for Ride Height and Weight Issues
After all elements are considered, solutions can be offered to fix ride height and/or weight capacity issues.
Leaf Spring Arching (Re-Arch / De-Arch)
Understanding Arching
Arching leaf springs is a process of re-curving each individual leaf to a specific contour and free arch.
Impact on Ride Height
Vehicle ride height is determined by the arch of the leaf spring combined with the rate of the spring steel.
Correcting Ride Height Issues
Modifying the arch will increase or decrease the ride height of the vehicle. If a vehicle has a different ride height, either left to right or front to back, arching the springs can provide a solution.
Leaf Spring Add-A-Leaf (Build-Up)
Increasing Payload Economically
At Big Moe, we fabricate Add-A-Leaves (build-up) as a method of increasing payload and lifting vehicles economically.
Fixing Sag or Lean
If your vehicle leans to one side or sags because of uneven or heavy weight distribution, we can fix it.
Leaf Spring Repair
Individual Leaf Replacement
