Some car owners think that the leaf spring suspension is composed of a stack of steel plates and should not be too fragile, so they don’t pay much attention to the protection of the suspension during use. This understanding is actually wrong, and the leaf spring suspension also needs Do routine maintenance and repairs.
1. Develop good driving habits. When the vehicle is heavily loaded on bumpy roads or speed bumps, slow down the vehicle speed and try to avoid sharp turns. Otherwise, it is easy to increase the weight of one side, which will not only damage the reed, but also cause injury. And steel ring and other components, affecting the stability of the vehicle.
2. During the use of the leaf spring suspension, the wear coefficient is very large, especially in the case of bad road conditions, the reed is more likely to break. When replacing the reeds, especially the multi-leaf spring suspension, even if the other old reeds are not damaged, their position should be adjusted. Otherwise, the rigidity of the newly replaced reed is inconsistent with the old reed, and a gap will be left between the two after installation, which will aggravate the wear of the new reed and cause excessive force on the single reed.
3. It is necessary to pay more attention to the maintenance of the leaf spring in daily life. The lug lug grease is indispensable, and the upper limit position of the auxiliary steel also needs to be greased. While lubricating, it can reduce abnormal noise, so that the leaf spring can cope with the increased friction coefficient more calmly and avoid surface pull. Injury phenomenon, reduce the possibility of reed breakage.
4. During normal maintenance, attention must be paid to the fastness of the bolts that fix the leaf springs, so as to avoid loosening of the screws, resulting in failure of the entire set of leaf springs, and even threatening the driving. Generally, the higher the load capacity of the vehicle, the more frequently it needs to be inspected.
5. The choice of the number of leaf springs depends on the load of the vehicle. When the vehicle is often in a heavy or heavy state, it is necessary to consider improving the leaf spring for the original vehicle, so as to enhance the force performance of the leaf spring and improve the service life.
6. Try to choose leaf springs produced by regular brands. After all, the suspension is directly related to the load bearing of the vehicle, especially for heavy-duty vehicles. It is better to be cautious when choosing products.
