Con- the internals wear out more quickly, you cannot fire in semi unless you replace some of the hammer/trigger mechanism, and you won't get good gas efficiency as the platform isn't designed to function optimally in full auto Slinging the car into the corner or spinning out puts an extreme amount of lateral force on the springs which in turn, causes premature failure. Furthermore, because the front eye is allowed to pivot, it does not have any solid displacement to drive the car forward. When the front bushing is allowing the front leaf spring to pivot, it transfers all the side loads and lateral forces to rear portion of the leaf spring and shackles or sliders, which were not designed to handle the additional stress. Furthermore, the leaves should include Teflon inserts on each end to reduce inner leaf friction. Solid bushings provide stable and predictable handling characteristics that lead to more consistent lap times.

Driving style plays a major role in the life of a leaf spring. Static deflection of a spring equals the static load divided by the rate at static load; it determines the stiffness of the suspension and the ride frequency of the vehicle. For example, if the main leaves are the same length and one spring has more arch, the spring with the most arch will have a stiffer installed rate. Shackle rigidity and length play a role in the installed rate as well. Furthermore, these solid bushings control and enhance chassis performance by resisting chassis roll/torque.

The resins break down when exposed to heat and heat cycles (produced from exhaust and/or brake systems) which will cause the resin in the spring to become brittle, resulting in the spring collapsing. Also, common mishaps of spilling brake fluid or brake fluid contact from simply bleeding the brakes will deteriorate the rubber and break the composite down; therefore, the rubber will fall out and the clips will be loose and slide down the main leaf. Leaf springs perform the following tasks: Due to all the loads leaf springs are under, it is one of the most stressed components on the race car. The installation method has changed because of the design changes. However, the cost is three times greater. Higher arch springs tend to work better on the dirt tracks whereas the lower arch springs perform better on the asphalt tracks. Measure the angle derived from the two lines. Leaves that are tapered on the ends are generally used for “mass production” applications which do not require the close tolerances and consistency in the spring rate that racers demand. LANDRUM SPRING’S engineers have found that by using two of the same spring rates, but installing one of the springs with a higher arch (for example on the left rear) is not recommended. right rear leaf spring with matching arches. We custom build TM 5.1 and 4.3 pistols. In addition, as the spring is put under load the shackle angle increases; therefore, the spring rate decreases under travel.

This style is sufficient to control axle torque and dampening, while maintaining ride height. Quick View. LANDRUM SPRING and many of the top chassis manufacturers recommend that the shackles never extend straight back. Too light of a spring rate will also cause the rear end to lose an excessive amount of pinion angle under acceleration, leading to a loss of forward bite. The clip is installed by using a hydraulic press to assure proper tightness. The spring’s length, width, thickness, number of leaves, hardness, bushings and clips determine the spring rate. This tends to tighten the car on corner entry and through the middle of the corner. $14.99. Due to the fact of the popularity of the leaf spring system, we felt racers may want to understand more about how the suspension actually works. Choosing too light of a spring rate will cause the spring to be in a higher stress situation, thus losing ride height. Although they are the oldest, they seem to be the least understood. When using coil springs on the rear, changes are made with spring rates not the free height of the coil springs. TM 5.1 Hi Capa (+165) TM 4.3 Hi Capa (+170) TM 5.1 Gold Match (+185) Other (ex.

Also, the longer the shackle length, the slower the arc movement which decreases the rate of the spring change. $57.99 Shop. Case-in-point: There is a 1969 Nova that is one of the quickest cars there. The advantage of this style is that the spring is lighter than the multi-leaf. When not racing, keep the springs unloaded by simply placing a jack stand under the chassis frame rail. In turn, the life of the spring and the number of cycles is reduced. Furthermore, the spring will absorb all the weight transfer, and not plant the tire securely on the track. Leaf springs are the oldest form of suspension in racing. If the shackles are long and do not have any middle support or bracing, then the shackle tends to absorb more of the twisting instead of the spring; therefore, your lateral resistance is less. The Nova’s best ET is 10.481 at 132.34 mph. In addition, fiberglass springs are sensitive to heat. Made from high-grade steel. The free rate is generally progressive, meaning that the leaf spring rate does not increase proportional to the rate of deflection. Verify the leaf spring for consistency in the arch. This will produce a lock-up or binding effect and the car will perform erratically and unpredictably. Out of Stock. Installing the leaf spring directly to a fixed axle seat (no upper or lower rubber mounted pads which are common on GM’s) will increase the overall spring rate, wrap-up rate and lateral rate, as well as the braking rate.
