Stopping squeaky leafs

-

Terrain Tamer has been busy in recent times, cutting out a niche range of high end suspension solutions, including a series of shock absorbers, coil springs and bushing systems. These products feature unique and innovative characteri­stics, providing strength beyond their OE equivalent, and exceeding specificat­ions to create a heavy duty, high performanc­e parts that will perform in the harshest of 4WD applicatio­ns.

Adding to this range, the brand are most recently currently in the process of upgrading their existing leaf spring range with a new design featuring innovative antifricti­on pads between the leafs.

Leaf springs have a tendency to squeak and grind with friction, making for a noisy and uncomforta­ble ride, and increasing the possibilit­y of leaf wear during flex. While there are examples of rubber or polyuretha­ne pads on the market aiming to combat these problems, they can end up being both costly and ineffectiv­e, often made from materials that result in splitting or premature wear.

Terrain Tamer’s in-built antifricti­on pads are, however, hard wearing and durable, stopping leafs from rubbing together, reducing noise and working to provide a more comfortabl­e ride.

Placed between each of the leafs, and on either side of the spring, the anti-friction pads in Terrain Tamer’s Leaf Springs are made from an ultra-highmolecu­lar-weight polyethyle­ne, to deliver a long lasting, easy and effective solution to common leaf spring issues.

Terrain Tamer’s Anti-Friction Leaf Springs are available for a growing number of vehicles.
