What is the purpose of the shot peening process on these leaf springs?

Shot peening is a process that bombards the spring surface with small steel pellets. This creates compressive stress on the surface, which helps to reduce overall spring stress and increase its lifespan, making it more resistant to fatigue and breakage.

How do the re-greasable nylon pads help?

The nylon pads are placed between the leaf springs to act as anti-friction surfaces. Being re-greasable, they help to reduce noise and wear between the leaves, contributing to a quieter and more comfortable ride.

What is a 'military wrap' design?

A military wrap refers to an extra wrap of spring steel around the main leaf. This design adds an extra layer of safety, providing additional support and preventing the spring from completely failing if the main leaf were to break.
