overload leaf spring

Leaf springs are quite possibly the most important part of a vehicle's suspension system, as they serve to spread out the weight on all four or more tires equally. If you put too much weight on a car, it puts strain on those leaf springs and that runs the risk of needing to be replaced as well. In this article we will take a deep dive into the risks of an overloaded leaf spring, ways you can prevent damage in your suspension components and what are common symptoms that are typical for failing leaf springs due to overload.

An overloaded leaf spring presents serious risks -- both to your vehicle and yourself. That can upset the suspension system, decreasing tire traction and reducing steering control of the vehicle. Especially at high speeds, on highways and when there are uneven terrains or you have a heavy load in the back.

Deformation and Breakage Risk

A broken leaf spring disables the car and can cause potentially fatal accidents, regardless of where it is when this happens. In addition, it can result in uneven tire wear while increasing safety potential issues.

When it comes to our vehicles, we must be able to prevent structural damage that could make them unsafe; Preventing the wear and tear on leaf springs when they become overloaded is a vital step in keeping us from having an accident. First, make sure to not overload the car and respect its weight capacity.
