Custom Leaf Springs

When it comes to the resilience and performance of your vehicle’s suspension, quality is paramount. At Northern Spring Works, located in Willaston, South Australia, we pride ourselves on being the leading specialists in custom leaf springs Adelaide. We combine traditional craftsmanship with modern engineering to deliver robust, reliable suspension solutions for a diverse range of vehicles, from heavy-duty trucks traversing the challenging Australian terrain to cherished vintage cars, modern daily drivers, and even caravans and trailers.

Precision Manufacturing of Multi-Leaf Springs in Adelaide

Our commitment to excellence begins with the materials we use. Every multi-leaf spring we manufacture in-house is forged from premium SUP9 steel. This high-grade material is renowned for its superior strength and fatigue resistance, ensuring that our springs can withstand the demanding conditions faced by vehicles across South Australia.

But it’s not just about the raw material. Each spring undergoes a meticulous, multi-stage treatment process to guarantee unparalleled durability and performance:

  • Hardening: This process strengthens the steel, making it more resistant to deformation.
  • Tempering: Following hardening, tempering enhances the spring’s toughness and ductility, preventing brittleness.
  • Shot Peening: A crucial step, shot peening introduces compressive residual stress on the surface of the spring, significantly improving its fatigue life and resistance to cracks.

This comprehensive manufacturing approach ensures that our custom leaf springs Adelaide not only meet but exceed industry standards, providing you with a safer, more reliable ride for years to come.
