Parabolic leaf spring locating pin

Terrain Tamer locating pin for parabolic leaf spring assemblies.

Aligns the leaf spring pack to the axle housing for correct suspension positioning.

 

This locating pin (centre bolt) is used to secure and align the leaf spring pack to the axle.

 

It passes through the centre of the spring pack and locates into the axle seat, ensuring the spring and axle remain correctly positioned.

 

Its role is critical for:

 

• Maintaining axle alignment
• Preventing spring movement
• Keeping correct wheelbase and tracking

 

 

Without a proper locating pin, the spring pack can shift under load, affecting handling and safety.

 

This pin is specifically designed for use with Terrain Tamer parabolic leaf springs and is built to handle off-road and load conditions. 

 

 

 

 

What happens when it fails

 

 

Common scenarios:

 

• Pin shears under load
