FRONT SPRINGS FOR SEMI AND HEAVY-DUTY TRUCKS
Semi truck front springs are an essential component of the suspension system in a semi truck. They are responsible for supporting the weight of the front end of the truck and providing a smooth, comfortable and safe ride.
Front springs in a semi truck are typically made of steel and are designed to withstand the heavy loads and constant vibrations that come with long-haul trucking. They are usually leaf springs, which consist of multiple layers of steel plates stacked on top of each other. These plates are held together by
clamps and bolts, creating a flexible yet sturdy spring.
The primary function of semi truck front springs is to absorb and distribute the weight of the truck and its cargo evenly across the front axle. This helps to maintain stability and control while driving, especially when encountering bumps, potholes, or uneven road surfaces. The front springs work in conjunction with other suspension components, such as
shock absorbers and sway bars, to provide a balanced and comfortable ride.
