Leaf Spring Repair

Leaf Springs are a vital components of your vehicle’s and trailer’s suspension system. Most leaf springs will last for several years, but driving on rough Maine roads, carrying heavy loads, and exposure to road salt and harsh elements can all cause corrosion or damage that weakens a spring’s structure, ultimately requiring repair or replacement.

Frequent spring inspections and scheduling service when it’s needed can help keep your truck or trailer’s suspension system and leaf springs in top condition.

How do I know my leaf springs need repair?

Some common signs your leaf springs may need to be repaired or replaced include:

  • The presence of cracks and fractures
  • A change in the way your vehicle handles
  • Your vehicle leans to one side when there is no load present
  • Difficulty steering or pulling to one side as you drive
  • Feeling even small bumps as you drive down the road
  • Your truck’s nose dives, leans back, or rolls with momentum

What should I do if I think my leaf spring need to be repaired or replaced?

Leaf spring repair is a multi-step process and can be difficult, especially if you don’t have access to the appropriate tools and equipment. Steps include jacking your truck, safely removing the surrounding items, then finally removing the springs. For semis and other large vehicles, this process can be even more complicated and even dangerous if not done properly.
