Landrum Chevy Mono-Leaf Springs

Leaf springs are the oldest form of suspension in racing. Although they are the oldest, they seem to be the least understood. Leaf springs possess many desirable suspension features, such as dampening, forward bite, roll over steer, high anti-squat percentage, and high lateral stiffness. In addition, the leaf spring suspension is more forgiving on chassis set-up errors. Due to the fact of the popularity of the leaf spring system, we felt racers may want to understand more about how the suspension actually works.
