Leaf Springs & Coils Breakdown - Spring Time
Leaf Springs & Coils Breakdown - Spring Time
Check out our in depth look at how exactly leaf springs and coils affect suspension, handling, and turning!If drum brakes and flat-tappet camshafts are old-school technology, then springs are quite literally ancient. In some respects the wooden bows and catapults used by medieval knights to bludgeon their adversaries into submission were very much the precursors to the modern leaf spring. In the days of the horse and carriage, leather straps were commonly used as a springing medium until they were replaced by steel leaves during the Industrial Revolution. With centuries of development under their belt, the springs bolted to modern vehicle suspension systems are simple-looking yet highly refined components.
