Connecting the axle to the chassis: it bears the support force, traction force, braking force, and lateral force exerted by the axle on the chassis, reducing the impact on the vehicle during driving.
The function and role of leaf springs.

Leaf springs are widely used in automotive suspensions and mainly serve the following functions:

Connecting the axle to the frame: They bear the support force, traction force, braking force, and lateral force exerted by the axle on the frame, reducing the impact on the vehicle while driving.

Increasing load capacity: When the vehicle is fully loaded, the main and auxiliary leaf springs work together to enhance the load capacity of the main leaf spring.

Absorbing vibration and impact energy: Utilizing the elasticity of the springs to reduce the bumps of the vehicle, improving ride comfort.
