The leaf spring insulator is incorporated into the lead spring suspension and the insulator is mounted in the middle of each leaf.
Leaf spring insulator functionThe leaf spring suspension is a vital component and it comes equipped with a leaf spring insulator. The leaf spring insulators are made of a rubber-like material and can vary in size. The insulator has the task to shield the springs from making metal-on-metal contact, decreasing vibration, and preventing any uncommon noises.
Common issues with a worn leaf spring insulatorA worn leaf spring insulator can lead to excessive vibration, squeaking, and damage to the suspension components.
