Old Man Emu U-Bolt Washers and Nuts - Triton, Hilux, 4Runner

Hotspot 1

Two-stage leaf pack—Two-stage leaf pack featured on most rear springs for optimum comfort. When unladen, the vehicle is largely riding on the primary stage, with the secondary stage providing additional support when a heavy load is added.

Hotspot 2

Shot peened—The tension side of all leaves is shot peened to reduce spring stress. This process can double the life of a spring.

Hotspot 3

Longevity—Flat axle seat area allows a positive, safe axle mount reducing spring stress and increasing spring life.

Hotspot 4

Wear reduction—Re-greasable nylon interleaf anti friction pads reduce friction at the leaf tips where the load is the greatest.

Hotspot 5

Safety—Military wrap designed to provide added safety.

Hotspot 6

Tested—Load testing ensures the spring meets the required specification.

Hotspot 7

Reduction in sagging—Fully scragged to ensure the spring takes a permanent ‘set’ which reduces the risk of sagging.

Hotspot 8

Anti squeak design—Leaf clamps are bolted to allow installation of anti squeak nylon liners.

Hotspot 9

Comfort—Draw tapered and diamond cut leaves ensure the load is progressively distributed over a larger surface area, reducing the high stresses that develop at leaf ends, increasing ride comfort and longevity.
