SOME SUSPENSION FACTS:
Shock absorbers are designed to work with the spring system of a
vehicle as one inseparable unit. It is actually the spring system
which absorbs bump shock forces during suspension movement. The
springs move not only upwards, during shock force, but downwards
and it can take some time for a spring in motion to return to its
neutral position.
Shock
absorbers are meant to slow and control spring oscillation travel
and allow the wheels to maintain good road contact, which improves
balance of steering, road stability and cornering reliability. Hence,
suspension plays a vital role in the handling, comfort and safety
of a vehicle.
FEATURES OF ENFORCER 4WD LEAF SPRINGS
- ALL SPRING LEAVES ARE SHOT PEENED. This is a method of firing
metal ball shot pellets at high velocity on the tension side of
the leaf. This assists in reducing the surface decarburization
of the material and produces large increases in fatigue life durability.
- ALL SPRINGS ARE SCRAGGED (PRE-STRESSED). This is a method of
assembled springs being fully compressed to a negative camber
to reduce initial tension stress. This operation is also beneficial
to fatigue life and its primary effect is to eliminate "settling"
(load loss) in service.
ALL
LEAVES HAVE PROTECTIVE GRAPHITE COATING. The primary purpose is
to prevent friction and corrosion both in storage and in operational
environments.
- ALL SPRINGS HAVE BOLT TYPE ALIGNMENT CLIPS. Alignment clips
are used to limit sideway spread and vertical separation of the
individual leaves in the spring.
Normal fold-over clips will open through normal use and allow
side movement of leaves, while clips with bolts permanently restrict
movement.
- ALL LEAVES HAVE DIAMOND POINT (SPEARED) ENDS. While square ends
are the cheapest to produce, they are often unsatisfactory. Square
ends cause concentration of interleaf pressure, resulting in more
friction and galling than tapered
ends. The diamond point end distributes the pressure between leaves
more effectively, while uniforming stress by omitting excess material,
thus reducing inter-leaf friction.
- HEAVY DUTY HI-LIFT DESIGN. All springs are heavy duty replacement
springs manufactured with thicker material and with an extra leaf.
These springs are designed to raise vehicle height 40-50mm. above
standard original height.
- WARRANTY. All Enforcer 4WD Springs carry a 12 month unlimited
kilometre warranty.
FEATURES OF ENFORCER 4WD SHOCK ABSORBERS
- LOW PRESSURE NITROGEN GAS CHARGED to provide immediate response
and to maximise fade resistance.
16MM.
PRECISION GROUND CHROMED HARDENED PISTON ROD, resists nicks and
scratches for a longer rod and seal life.
- EXTENDED TRAVEL, allowing more wheel travel and improved chassis
ground clearance in harsh terrain.
- LARGE 35MM. INNER BULGE CYLINDER, allowing for extra oil capacity
for improved heat displacement to help the shock run cool and
respond better over a wide range of surfaces.
- REINFORCED ARC WELDING of both pin and eye mounts.
- LONG LIFE & LOW FRICTION PISTON ROD GUIDE & SEALS.
- DOUBLE ACTION MULTI-STAGED VALVING, responds immediately to
any varying degree of dampening or rebounding action during the
spring oscillation.
- TWIN TUBE DESIGN, to give greater protection to working parts.
- OUTER STEEL DUST AND STONE COVERS, for extra protection against
outside elements.
- QUALITY ASSURED PRODUCT. All shock absorbers are supplied to
a QA Approval ISO 9001 International Standard.
- WARRANTY. All Enforcer shock absorbers carry a 2 year/40,000
km. warranty.
