Emu Dakar Leaf Springs
Numerous spring options are available to suit a multitude of applications, allowing you to set your vehicle up for recreational or commercial purposes. Feature packed, a set of Emu Dakar leaf springs matched to a set of Old Man Emu 4x4 shock absorbers will deliver vastly improved ride, handling and load carrying capability.
· Draw tapered and diamond cut leaves: Ensure the load is progressively distributed over a larger surface area, reducing the high stresses that develop at leaf ends. This provides increased ride quality and protection against leaf breakage, significantly increasing the spring life.
· Bolt clamps and liners: The leaf clamps are bolted to allow installation of anti squeak nylon liners.
· Fully scragged and load tested: Scragging ensures the spring takes a permanent ‘set’ which reduces the risk of sagging. Load testing ensures the spring meets the required specification.
· Graphite coating: To further reduce the friction between the spring leaves and friction pads.
· Military wrap: Designed to provide added safety.
· Anti friction pads: Regreasable nylon interleaf liners reduce friction at the leaf tips where the load is the greatest.
· Flat axle seat area: Allows a positive, safe axle mount reducing spring stress and increasing spring life.
· Shot peening: The tension side of all leaves is shot peened to reduce spring stress. This process can double the life of a spring.
· Two-stage leaf pack: Featured on most rear springs for optimum comfort. When unladen the vehicle is largely riding on the primary stage, with the secondary stage providing additional support when a heavy load is added.
PLEASE NOTE: Most Emu Dakar leaf springs have all the listed features, but where design or a physical limitation exists, one or more of these features may not be incorporated. Please check with your OME licensed fitter for further information.
