ABSTRACT:
An anti-splay shim 50 and low friction liner 80 are incorporated in the center section 12 of a leaf spring assembly 10 for preventing splaying of the second stage leaf 36 with respect to the first stage leaves 22, 24 and 26. The anti-splay shim 50 has an upturned flange 50 which abuts edges of 62 and 64 of the first stage leaves 24 and 26 and a downward turned flange 58 which abuts an opposite facing edge 66 of the second stage leaf 36. In addition, a low friction liner 80 is interposed between a second stage leaf 36 and a spring seat 34 which is fixed to an axle 14. The low friction liner 80 minimizes torque transfer about a vertical axis from the axle 14 to the second stage leaf 36.
